How to Wear This Season’s “Boring” Color Trend Without Looking, Well, Boring

Form cream to camel, tan to taupe, biscuit to oatmeal, 50 shades of beige
have been a mainstay on the runways, the streets, and our Insta
feeds—ever since the hue catapulted to fame on the S/S 19
runways. And there’s no signs of the color trend slowing
down, either. This fall the
neutral shade is all the rage—after sashaying down practically
every major fall runway—from Max Mara to Sally La Pointe, Rejina
Pyo to The Row. But if you’re thinking head-to-beige equals
bland, think again. The neutral look for fall/winter 2019 is
refreshingly modern, delightfully alluring, and easily wearable
(the only price to pay is a higher dry cleaning bill!).

The key to keeping the look fresh and modern this season is to
wear the color palette from head-to-toe, mixing several shades of
neutral tones within your outfit. Another tip? Play with textures
within your outfit—mock croc, leather, cashmere, and faux fur, as
well as volume—billowy sleeves and slouchy, wide-leg trousers
keep the outfit interesting.

“boring” color trend without looking well… boring.

Add interest to your look by mixing varying shades of
beige—toffee trousers paired with a taupe trench, and off-white
accessories look unquestionably chic.

Playing with diverse fabrics and textures keep the look from
looking one-note. Opt for mock-crock boots or bags, luxe leather
separates, cozy cashmere, or faux fur.

Exaggerated silhouettes such as billowy sleeves, puff shoulders,
slouchy trousers, and voluminous dresses add a refreshingly cool
touch to an all-neutral outfit.

A little sparkle will make your beige outfit pop. Opt for a
trending gold chunky chain link necklace.

Contrasting black accessories look chic and sophisticated
against beige hues. Try a statement black belt and strappy sandals
to break up a beige jumpsuit.

A pop of print or a statement pattern thrown into an all beige
outfit gives the look some life. Try a plaid or animal print shirt
in similar hued tones.

A long trench or overcoat paired with a midi length skirt or
culottes looks seriously luxe. Or for a statement look opt for
ankle-grazing trousers and coats together.
