It’s all about mixing tones and textures. Try layering light sand with deeper camel, or pairing icy blue with denim. Even subtle contrast adds dimension and makes the outfit feel intentional, not identical.

Look for muted versions of bolder hues like dusty rose instead of hot pink, or sage instead of bright green. You’ll feel elevated, not extra.

Neutrals are your best friend. Shades like sand, soft gray, olive, or cream pair well with anything and always look polished. Bonus: they’re seasonless and timeless. Add in a muted tone or two to make the look yours.

Beige is incredibly versatile. Pair it with white or off-white for a clean look. Since it has more of a warm base, stick with warm tones like olive, rust, or even navy. It’s a great anchor for tonal outfits and color pops alike.

Texture is key. Think chunky knits, soft ribbed tanks, breezy linen, or slouchy denim. When your palette is quiet, your fabric can speak louder.

Absolutely. Winter whites, soft taupes, and icy blues bring a fresh, elevated feel when the weather turns cold. Just layer with cozier textures like wool or cashmere.

A general rule? Warm tones (like sand, olive, clay) flatter golden or olive skin. Cool tones (like slate, blue-gray, soft white) complement pink or fair undertones. But rules were made to be broken—if you love it, wear it.
