Nude is the New Black

IMG_2330

Nude is one of the hottest trends this summer and from what we saw at market last week, it’s definitely carrying over this fall and we couldn’t be more excited! No we’re not talking about going naked—just wearing pale, neutral beige and tan tones that aren’t too far off from your skin tone. We saw this pop up first last spring as a shoe trend and now we’re seeing it in dresses, tops you name it. As weird as it sounds it really can be a flattering look as long as you choose the right “nude” for your skin. Paler skin tones should aim for peachier hues with a touch of pink in them to keep them from washing out, while darker skintones, like Ashley pictured here, can opt for the more yellow-beige tones. The key is not to go for a head to toe nude look: add a bold contrast in black, a bright coral or turquoise (we LOVE the nude & turquoise Surprise Ending Seychelles Sandals still available in our store), or even keep it all in the neutral family with browns and olive greens—a HUGE trend going forward this summer and fall!

Ashley is wearing our 100% organic cotton scoop tank by Threads 4 Thought in Nude (also available in Black, White & Grey) with an ADA gold leather belt and Tag Elements Rodeo Pencil Skirt as well as House of Harlow Sunburst Hoop Earrings.

You really don’t have to have a body like Ashley’s to wear this look, I promise. The wonderful thing about this double-knit ponti skirt by Tag is that it smoothes everything out while sucking us in just enough. It’s also amazingly comfortable—their pants look nice enough to wear to work but feel like sweatpants, you’ll never want to take them off.
