Perfect for spring and summer, beige is the new black.
Beige pastels and light nudes are always on trend for the warmer months but this year designers are really celebrating the look. Rosy blush nudes and soft peachy beige figured prominently on many runways. From Stella McCartney to Chloé and Sonia Rykiel, translucent beige was everywhere: boyfriend blazers, soft billowy trousers, mesh shoes and more. Whether it’s light or dark beige, there’s a shade of beige for everyone in the season’s key pieces. Kate Bosworth’s already a fan—at a recent red-carpet event she went for a relaxed chic look in an oversized blazer, loose shorts, and open-toed heels, straight off of Chloé’s spring summer runway. Make this trend work for you. Layer a blush blouse under a black jacket for look that’s a chic contrast. Play with nude accent pieces, like a great pair of heels or go head-to-toe in a sheer and billowy nude dress. Don't forget; you can pair your nude hues with neon shades this summer, too. When the trend’s this versatile you’ve got nothing to loose!
