Classic Color Combinations
Pastels? For Spring? Groundbreaking no, but also welcomed with open arms. Nothing cracks the neutral palette that we know as Winter up a bit like the first sign of color. As legend goes, if the groundhog sees his shadow wearing lilac, then we’ve got an early spring coming our way. The approach of warmer weather is exciting for us all but especially those who love to add pops of color beyond the perimeters of their pedicures.
Classic colors are of course mainly known for their neutrality. Whites, beiges, navy and grays serve as a foundation to be built upon. Whether you want to see beyond black and white or perhaps you need to remove the rose colored glasses and tone down the Pantone a smidge - you can make your hue improvement here. As your expert color tour guide , here are the best and brightest matches for your neutral classics to experiment with this Spring and for every season that follows.
Navy
Everyone thinks Black is the most flexible color in the closet and we are here to shut that fiction down. Everything from Hunter green to poppy red is ideal to wear with navy. Pair a bold color purse like mustard yellow with the Katharine blazer for that unexpected pop that’s sure to be replicated.
White
Be the ray of sunshine in every room you enter when you put cheerful and approachable yellow against a crisp white foundation. Go bold and tuck the Donna shirt into a sunflower yellow midi skirt for the next event you’re asked to go to. If that’s too intense for you, go full monochrome white or ivory and add an airy bright yellow scarf or heel to finish it off.
Beige
Some think beige is boring. They’re wrong. We think beige is not only one of the more sophisticated neutrals but also a touch on the sexy side as the nude tone can be quite suggestive - in a good way. Adding a touch of soft tangerine, pinks or lavender as a statement or an accessory to a beige ensemble is an expert move to escalate your outfit’s conversation away from small talk. Do this by pairing the Twiggy dress in pink paired with nude strappy heels and the Jackie Duster coat.
