Over time though I found it hard to work with, maybe because I don't use denim or navy as base neutrals. Or it would be unpredictable as to finding items in the right colors. Then I moved over to grays, and taupe didn't mix, while camels and tans do. Those are often too warm for " face" colors but work for accessories, especially leather goods, and prints and also different shades often work together while different taupes are less likely to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203433 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 06:25:02 +0000 Golden 1203433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love taupe but I also love tan, truly hard colors due to undertones and such but when you find the perfect color...magic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203215 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 01:05:27 +0000 Echo 1203215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, the range of colours I have seen listed as "taupe" is such a huge continuum that without seeing the shoes it is impossible to judge. I agree that it may be a cool/warm issue, as a true taupe (at least in my mind) is a cooler colour than beige or blush or nude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203185 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:29:24 +0000 April 1203185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love taupe as long as it's a cool taupe and nothing with warm or muddy tones. &nbsp;Can you say more about the ways in which you feel they're not complementing your clothing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203102 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 22:30:47 +0000 Suz 1203102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lyn said. I love taupe! But I am blonde, low contrast, and wear a ton of denim. So it works for me as a bookending (with hair) and as a near-nude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203092 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 22:23:59 +0000 Helena 1203092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a thought along the lines of Carter ... perhaps it's the cool/warm dilemma? If they are true cool-toned taupe, they might be troublesome if your wardrobe leans to the warm side? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1203086 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 22:20:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1203086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find either nude or blush or grey more versatile than taupe, but then I am a pale gal with darker hair so nothing is taupe. I think that blondes have better luck with taupe, from what I've seen on the forums. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1202982 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:08:00 +0000 lyn67 1202982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love taupe, but I'm blond, low contrast girl, and so find it matches most of my greyish things and the few patterns I have and include ivory/cream/taupe, but it's a muted muddy type of color so will less probably match&nbsp; brights. Suits to jeans well because of fadings or texture in itself fabric, which&nbsp;has many times kind of grey/taupe in the wovens. It especiale works with them if&nbsp;jeans have&nbsp;a taupe stiching, less if they have cognac yelow orange stiching. Love taupe with navies, silver and &nbsp;citron&nbsp;too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1202965 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:56:44 +0000 carter 1202965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>post a picture of the shoes? They should work essentially like a nude shoe, especially if your clothing colors are cool rather than warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-color-taupe#post-1202957 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:51:27 +0000 always trying 1202957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finding taupe a difficult color.&nbsp; When I started replacing shoes after the big purge, I decided a 1 inch wedge looked better than, and was as versatile as ballet flats.&nbsp; found comfy cute navy pumps like that, but in my size only had in taupe.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I got them thinking that it was a good neutral, and after finding the perfect navy pumps a few days later, decided to keep the taupe.&nbsp; now I am finding they do not look good with most of my clothes,, except jeans.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p></p>
