In this new series, Wardrobe Essentials, I introduce the most basic items that every successful wardrobe need. Key pieces are great for mix and match your outfits and always look chic and radiant.
For this first part, I show you a couple of neutral and basic color cardigans that suit not just for your Light Summer or Light Spring seasonal palette but your romantic and classic style as well.
The colors are light and fresh but while the Summer shades are on the cool side, the Spring colors are warmer.
The recommended neutral and basic colors for Light women
The best neutral colors for Light Summers are; soft white or ivory, light, and medium grays, and navy.
Great basic colors for Light Summers are for example; light sky blue, mint, gray-blue, lavender, rose pink or raspberry red.
The best neutral shades for Light Spring are; cream and ivory, camel, chocolate brown, and navy as well.
Great basic colors for Light Springs are for example; medium warmer blue, turquoise, mint, coral, peach or light warmer pink.
Note: neutral colors typically include black, white, gray, navy and brown shades. The combination of these colors creates a sophisticated and polished look. However, neutrals look great with other colors as well.
Basic colors are mostly the shades of the main colors on the color wheel like yellow, orange, blue, green or red. If you want a colorful but minimalist wardrobe – choose a couple of basic shades so you can have always matching outfits.
