N eutral-colored clothing used to be frowned upon for being boring and pretty much dead against the skin. But that has since changed thanks to the creativity of designers and fashionistas alike. Today more than ever, muted tones have finally earned our respect as well as a permanent place in our closets. Whether it’s on the high fashion streets or on social media, stylish women are putting neutral colors in high styling gear, and you can too.

Neutral clothing comes in a variety of colors like white, beige, tan, brown, gray, taupe, black, and the like. While many of these colors may prove challenging to style, it’s a lot easier than you may think. The key here is complementing neutrals with hues that work well with them as well putting consideration to the style and fit. Of course, your creativity is also important when it comes to styling neutral colors. Neutrals are now a must-have for any woman looking to claim her spot as a style star and with the classy vibe, who wouldn’t love it?

Check out easy tips on how to wear neutral colors in clothing like a true style star…

A surefire way to look classy is to wear neutrals in monochromes. Whether it’s beige, white, or the famed black, a monochrome look is right. In addition, this look is well-coordinated and can be worn from business meetings to brunch with friends, depending on the outfit type. For example, a matching white pantsuit paired with comfy sneakers isn’t just season-appropriate but also screams boss babe.

A dramatic pop of color is always welcome with neutral colors in clothing. It’s the way it adds a certain spice to the look that makes it a trusted card to play. Also, if you’re still skeptical about going head-to-toe in a single tone, then a color pop is just what you need.

Opting for neutral outfits with details is a great way to avoid looking boring. The flair it evokes makes your ensemble interesting to behold, and interesting is what fashionistas do! Whether it’s a detailed jacket, skirt, or blouse, get creative with how you work detailing into your look.

Accessories are like a breath of fresh air to any outfit, including neutrals. From shoes to bags, jewelry, belts, hats, and even scarves, the possibilities are endless with what you can do with them. I particularly love how scarves are taking center stage in styling, see this article for some inspiration.

Mix and match fabrics for a great effect. For example, fabrics such as lace, eyelet, wool, and silk can be paired with basics such as cotton, linen, and denim. In addition, you can also add prints such as stripes, florals, and leopards for interest. Finally, staples with interesting textures like a leather skirt or a white lace or eyelet top work magic.
