As someone who regularly wears taupe, sand and rust tones, I’m always surprised when I hear someone describe neutrals as “boring”. Of course, if you’re used to saturated styling and naturally gravitate toward punchy hues, I can understand how an all-beige outfit could feel a tad lacklustre. But I’m also convinced that camel is just about the chicest shade on the colour wheel, and along with its fellow warm neutrals, it can look incredibly expensive.
We’re all familiar with the expression “less is more”. While there’s certainly a place for maximalist dressing, sticking to a low-key colour palette is the secret to looking put-together with minimal effort. In fact, some of the most impactful outfits I’ve saved on Instagram lately consist of just two or three muted shades. Once you have this base, you can then elevate it with touches of gold-toned jewellery and luxury accessories. Simple.
