4 Ways To Make A Neutral Colour Palette Pop

The best way to breathe life into neutrals is by mixing various shades and tones from the same or similar colour family into the mix. If you have a coordinating shirt and shorts set, consider layering a slightly different coloured tank underneath or adding a brown leather cross-body bag to break things up. 

Prints and tactile textures are just what a monochromatic outfit needs to make things interesting. Add a little (or a lot) of spice to your wardrobe through earth-toned accessories like basket bags, straw hats and canvas totes. To soften the utilitarian touches that naturally come with the trend, like metal buckles and leather straps, try working featherweight silk scarves, satin and breezy linens into your look.

We know it kind of goes against the rules but adding a tiny pop of colour to a monochromatic look will take it to new heights. We love a flash of fuschia or a shot of electric yellow for this trend, but the best thing about neutrals is that they’ll pair well with absolutely everything. The key though, is to only introduce a couple of new colours to keep your browns and beiges the hero of your outfit. 

When you’re dressed head-to-toe in brown, the last thing you want is to add more brown to your look. Instead, swap your usual liner and eyeshadow palette for khaki colours that err on the side of olive green with a hint of gold.
