Neutral Outfit Ideas

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 you'll wear time and time again. Oatmeal-hued jumpers, relaxed cardigans and knitted vests are perfect for the transition to warmer weather – we love this versatile jumper, with its flattering crew neckline.

Pair your jumper with the jeans of the moment – our wide-leg fit – in a rich shade of ecru. 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.

Animal print emerged last season as a must-have for every wardrobe, and is now regarded as a neutral thanks to its pared-back colour palette.

The trick to wearing animal print as a neutral is to pair it with pieces in the same tonal family. Start with a low-key, classic item – such as a shirt, trousers or dress – in cream, biscuit or shades of brown, and then cherry pick one animal print piece to add a bit of drama.

As a starting point, try teaming this striking zebra-inspired print dress with rich brown or ecru accessories, such as these western-style boots, layering over a luxurious merino wool cardigan on chillier days.
