Tricky Trends

Edition 1: Neutrals


We get it, neutrals and minimalism are on-trend this summer. Beige, ivory, nude, taupe, black, gray and white are all fantastic because of their versatility. They can go with any colour and even look great mixed together, which is why we recommend investing in a few neutral pieces. A huge plus with these items is that, because they are understated, you're not going to raise any eyebrows if you wear them often. Sadly, people are going to notice if you wear your favourite printed dress every other day.





With nudes there is a fine line between chic sophistication and borderline nakedness.  Be careful not to wear items that are too similar to your skin tone.  Take this as a Public Service Announcement: it's called nude for a reason. When you wear nude, you look naked!  We usually love when people look twice at our outfit, but if someone's looking twice to make sure you're wearing clothing, that is not the kind of attention you want.  Try to reserve nude colours for your accessories such as a sweet beige bangle or some wicked nude heels that will elongate the leg and go with everything!


So whether you're decked out from head to toe in neutrals or just adding a beige top to an outfit, check twice before you leave to make sure it doesn't look like you're breaking any laws.


Because that's what it looks like, and that's the naked truth!



You looked twice, didn't you?!
