I ♥ Street Style // The Beige Revolution

As far as trends go, you’d be forgiven for assuming that beige equals boring. Over the past few seasons, fashion and our social media feeds have been dominated by not-so-neutral looks so it may come as a surprise to learn that this season, fashion’s must-have shade of the moment is decidedly more understated: beige. Thanks to designers like Burberry and Fendi the muted hue is no longer a byword for bland and instead being spotted on the well-dressed backs of Parisian street style and Instagram influencers.

Many men steer clear of colour. And while we think that a little brightness can go a long way, there’s also occasions when the most stylish move can be to eschew novel shades entirely. The art of wearing all one colour – most recently the 'nude look' can look particularly suave when done right. But it’s also an easy thing to get wrong. Without some points of difference within your look, it can quickly go from accomplished to uninspired.

“Wearing one colour head-to-toe is the ultimate in simplicity and that’s the key to looking good, plus, it lets you have fun with your look, placing focus upon fit, fabric and texture – things that are often overlooked when filling your wardrobe with staples.”

To keep a balanced look consider flashes of different nudes or alternatively, enlist some different base layers, too. Some white in your t-shirt can break up the tones and avoids anything too matchy-matchy. Add depth by adding textures - plus there’s an added benefit of an extra layer in colder months, try layers of suede, wool, leather or cashmere in the same hue to lift your outfit.
