These outfits are for Team Neutrals. Instead of combining dark neutrals from head-to-toe, the outfits are broken up by contrasting neutrals. There’s a bit of pattern too. In some examples the contrast is subtle and minimal, and in other examples more bold. The contrast can be close to the face, or at the bottom of the outfit. I’m including earth tones like olive, tan, and toffee as neutrals. 

1. Greys, Olive, White and Cream

Olive trousers are combined with a very dark grey and almost black polo sweater. The buttons of the sweater are left open so that a white tee can peek through, thereby creating a high contrast. A white tee layered this way gives the outfit a sporty and casual touch. Cream sneakers with dark gum soles add another contrasting touch and match the sporty integrity of the tee. A charcoal coat tops the lot. None of the neutrals are an exact match, and they all work together. Add a neutral bag that works with the palette.

2. Chocolate, Black, Tan and Cream

A chocolate skirt with black lace trim is combined with a chocolate turtleneck. Tall black boots match the black lace. A tan sherpa jacket with cream trim tops the lot to create a contrast. The tension between the dressy skirt and casual topper is right on trend. Add a neutral bag that works with the palette.

3. Denim, Grey, Black, White, Tan and Chocolate

This outfit is interesting because the jeans, sweater and jacket are contrasting neutral items already. These items are combined into an outfit to create further contrast. A pair of dark blue cuffed jeans is combined with a grey-black-white striped sweater. Chocolate boots match the model’s dark brown hair. A tan jacket with black collar adds another level of neutral contrast. So does the furry scarf if it’s worn inside the collar of the jacket. Add a neutral bag that works with the palette.

4. Black, Olive and Tan

A tan and black patterned skirt has an attached olive belt, which creates neutral contrast. It’s combined with an olive sweater which is exactly the same colour. It strengthens the high contrast look of the outfit. A black leather jacket tops the pairing. Tall black boots match the jacket and create a neutral contrast with the skirt. Add jewellery, bag, watch and eyewear as desired.
