Autumn is at the corner so it’s time for layers and wearing warmer clothes like sweaters or cardigans.
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 Soft Summer or Soft Autumn seasonal palette but your classic and natural style as well.
The colors are muted and pale but while the Summer shades are on the cool side, the Autumn colors are warmer.
The recommended neutral and basic colors for Soft women
The best neutral colors for Soft Summers are; soft white or ivory, light, and medium grays, and navy.
Great basic colors for Soft Summers are for example; light gray-blue, soft turquoise, medium blue, mauve, soft pink or raspberry red.
The best neutral shades for Soft Autumns are; cream and ivory, camel, taupe brown, and navy as well.
Great basic colors for Soft Autumns are for example; medium gray-blue, turquoise, light olive green, sandy brown, pale orange or brick red.
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.
