How To Wear It: Why Neutrals Are The Hot Trend

April 11, 2017 17:33

HAVE SOME FUN TODAY - You need this new trend in your closet. Here's an easy way to bring your basic wardrobe into high fashion this Spring, that will last you through summer. Write this down.... Pale Dogwood and Hazelnut.

The Color Gods

No, these aren't fancy new drinks on the Starbucks menu, these are the hot, trending colors from the Pantone Fashion Color Report for 2017.

The guiding force behind the color palette for fashion, these Pantone colors were splashed all over the runway and are now making their mark in paint colors and home design.

So Much More Than Just Tan and Pink

We adore the neutrality of these colors. The Hazelnut color looks gorgeous in a modern cut pant, a beautiful flutter top silk blouse or classic blazer. Think shades of a pale khaki or rich ivory. Cream, buff, ecru, champagne.... it's catalog speak for a color that may sound incredibly dull but is actually beautiful and offers versatility to your closet.

And Pale Dogwood is that just blush of pink, a hint or a whisper of its more vibrant counterpart. Muted, yes, but nonetheless fabulous. This is a gorgeous rosè in a crystal glass or the palest pink of the spring cherry blossom. And universally, both of these colors tend to be flattering on most skin tones.

How To Wear It

We love the look of the neutral nude set to the classic jeans and t-shirt. But you can take it from basic to fabulous with just a few additions.

The easiest way add these color trends to your everyday look is with accessories. Your go-to favorite jeans and still trending "statement tee" are the perfect foundation to go any direction that your day may take you.

Running errands around town or meetings with clients on the fly? Take our cool HSFT Live Love Wear Share tee and jeans to another level with hint of the barely there hue in a great slide sneaker. (We heart these classic Van sneakers from Nordstrom in a perforated suede) or you can opt for these fabulous canvas espadrilles in nude from Anthropologie.

Your day turns into night and it's time for cocktails with your hottie? Switch out the slides for some sexy, strappy sandals in this creamy color. Add a chic natural leather cuff, a buff-tone leather choker, and did we mention this color looks amazing with gold? Layer your go-to gold pieces whenever you pick this muted palette.

Complete the look with a fabulous bag like this quilted Chanel classic bag or any one of the delicious options in this barely there color. We love the Michale Kors Mercer Convertible Tote in fawn or this fabulous Loeffler Randall dome satchel with tassels in a buttery natural leather.

Dive Into the Color Pool

You don't have to over do it to be "on point" and look amazing. Mixing trends with classic looks and basic pieces from your wardrobe gives you just enough nod to a look or a style.

And however you decide to dress it, Have Some Fun Today!
