How to use your neutrals

When you get your colour palette, you will have a set of neutrals that will work with your colouring and with all your colours. Neutrals are what they sound like: they are not really any colour, but are types of black, navy, grey, beige, white, etc.

Neutrals are useful for grounding your colours or providing a backdrop for your colours within an outfit. They can also be worn on their own if you want a more subdued, classic look, or you can wear them in a beautiful fabric or style to create a very elegant outfit.

You may already own some things in your neutrals, or you might not and are looking to introduce some pieces. To get started, here are some suggestions for what you could get and/or how you could wear them:

• Layering basics that you can wear with different colours - cardigans, tops, trousers, leggings, skirts

• All-in-one pieces like dresses and jumpsuits for a more classic look

• Coats & jackets

• Accessories - shoes, bags, belts, scarves, gloves, hats

• Formal/business wear
