The
neutral-toned outfit can be a potential fashion disaster which can end up
looking very unflattering if executed incorrectly. However, coordinated right,
this is one of fashion's biggest hits and a trend that keeps going season after
season. Beiges teamed with other neutrals look fresh, minimal and feminine. It
never looks stale and it's also a very classic look that doesn't seem to date.
The
trick to getting this one right is to examine your own skin tone and see what
neutrals work best - if you match your flesh too closely, it will throw the
look off. Find a shade that contrasts and highlights your skin, and you'll be
on the path to success. Many stars layer or mix shades to create a toned effect
so look out of clutches, heels and belts to top off your look in pretty tones
of blush, beige, caramel or nude. Here is a look at how some celebrities made
their look work.
Candice Swanepoel
South
African model Candice Swanepoel wore her simple beige high-waisted skirt with a
crisp contrasting simple white t-shirt. She completed her outfit with
Clubmaster sunglasses, flat sandals and a small metallic clutch.
