NEUTRAL OUTFITS

Inspired by the latte-dressing trend? Get your sartorial caffeine fix with these three easy-to-wear neutral looks

 

How to wear neutrals to the office

Neutral clothing is the stuff work-wardrobe dreams are made of. Choose some classic smart items – such as shirts, tailored trousers and jackets – in cream, biscuit and brown shades, and you’ll have a selection of looks to fall back on (no more scrambling to throw an outfit together at 7am).

These cream-coloured trousers provide a great base from which to build the rest of your outfit. Add layers on top in neutral tones – we love this crisp, oversized white shirt and trench coat combination – and you’re good to go. Now all you need is a latte in hand…

WORK-READY NEUTRALS

How to wear neutral accessories

The key to wearing head-to-toe neutrals is to incorporate lots of different textures into your outfit via chic accessories. A faux leather handbag in a natural hue is an easy way to do this – we love the on-trend sling shape of this cross-body bag, which comes in cream, chocolate and black. With its adjustable strap, it can be worn over the shoulder or across the body.

Break up a neutral outfit by adding a cream-coloured woven leather belt at the waist. Shoes are another great way to add tactile touches – try these beige lace-up trainers, which have faux suede detailing.

THE BEST NEUTRAL BAGS

How to wear neutrals on laid-back days

For weekend walks or work-from-home days, a neutral colour palette is a fail-safe option. By choosing a few key pieces, you can mix and match to create endless go-to outfits. Oatmeal-hued jumpers, lighter cardigans and knitted vests are perfect for the transition to warmer weather – we love this soft-touch ribbed jumper, with its flattering V-neckline.

Pair your jumper with the trousers of the moment – our wide-leg cords – in a beautiful bitter chocolate shade. They come in petite, regular and long lengths, so you can easily find your perfect fit. Finish your outfit with some simple metallic jewellery for a pared-back yet put-together look.
