The Ultimate Guide To Nailing Neutral Colours In 2022

Attend a wedding or a formal function in a suit that's any colour other than black, grey or navy and you'll be amazed at how quickly you start amassing the compliments. Go for autumnal tones like khaki, maroon or brown paired with a simple white or cream shirt, and you'll find it a simple step that'll do wonders.

Part of the playfulness of autumnal and winter dressing in particular is that you can use seasonal pieces in combination to form outfits that are bigger than the sum of their parts. Neutral jumpers, jackets and pants, when combined as discussed above, all look timeless individually, and even better when combined. So have fun with it, and since neutral colours all work harmoniously together, playing around with layers has never been easier.

The beauty of neutral colours is that they lend themselves to creating colour combinations you'd never typically think actually work. A deep green, for instance, works well with navy, as does cream with maroon, and just about every other combo under the sun. Play around with these pairings, and don't be afraid to add a third, or even a fourth. It'll make you more confident in mixing and matching colours in the future, which given the fashion world's love of all things colourful at the moment, is a shortcut to eye-catching style.

Dressing for the colder seasons also means the chance to bring these warm, earthy hues into your footwear game, and there has never been a bigger selection of styles out there to suit the aesthetic. Try a pair of maroon sneakers, cream moccasins or brown loafers or even boots — you'll be amazed how many outfits they work themselves into.
