When introducing our Neutrals Review for this week, one reader asked whether we would consider olive or khaki green a neutral. My answer is yes! If jeans count as a neutral than so does this khaki green corduroy skirt, in my opinion. When paired with gray and white, it still creates a soft and muted color palette, allowing the orange sandals to play the part of the color ‘pop’. What do you think?
Fearing that outfits comprised of mostly neutrals can seem muted and even…dare I say it? … boring, I like to add interest by paying attention to the details. A.’s outfit the other day more than proves my case that a soft and understated color palette a boring outfit does not make when the right details are added.
To make this casual look feel more interesting, I layered two tanks with contrasting necklines (lace-trimmed white under scalloped gray) and chose a skirt with an interesting cut rather than color. The asymmetrical non-matching pockets give this simple cord skirt a unique finish. Thus, I may only have mixed gray, white, and khaki green but still felt like I had a cleverly detailed ensemble on my hands. Add an interesting piece of jewelry and I’m good to go. S.
This is great. I love this casual, neutral look. The details in the straw bag, the tank necklines, the pockets, all make a great look. I love the orange sandals with this to just slightly brighten the outfit.
A wodernufl job. Super helpful information.
