How to Wear Neutral Colors

May 18, 2016

This season, designers have been showing LOTS of neutrals in the beige/taupe palette. For some, it can be an intimidating hue to wear because it can wash out certain skin tones. Immediately, customers will tell me, “Mariah, I can’t wear that color” or “It doesn’t look good on me”.

I love to take those “I can’t” and turn them into “I can” by using a few simple tricks!

1. Layer it Up!! Adding a simple colorful tank or tee under a neutral top will instantly bring life and a new hue to your overall look. (In this week’s video I show you how I layered a mesh top and a tank under some taupe tops)

2. Accessorize with COLOR!! Layer gorgeous jewelry in turq, coral or lapis to add a pop of color near your face! Consider grabbing a colorful scarf or denim jacket to add another shade to your silhouette.

3. Wear the neutral in a pant or shoe! There is more than one way to rock a trend and if you don’t want to wear it in a top, just grab a neutral pair of jeans or sandals.

4. Bump up your Blush!! The magic of make-up is a wonderful thing and by adding a little more blush, some bronzer or a bright lipstick can make all the difference in what colors you can rock!
