Anatomy of a Look: Neutral Outfit Ideas
When I saw this Loewe raffia bag, I immediately started styling outfits based in neutral colors to wear with it. The bag has so much visual interest that it needed a neutral look to go back to that packs as much style as it does. And once I started creating different outfits, I couldn’t stop!
Neutral tones are so easy to style because everything works back to each other and you can create so many chic looks with only a few key items. These three outfits are all put together with essential pieces you may already have in your own capsule wardrobe like a breezy black dress, white jeans and a beige vest. Using neutral colors like black, white, beige and brown is an easy way to create chic outfits that you’ll be able to have and wear forever. And please don’t think they are boring for a minute! Just because they lack bright color, doesn’t mean they lack style; it’s actually quite the opposite. If you want looks that stand out and stand the test of time, see these three neutral outfit ideas that are light on effort and big on style!
BEIGE VEST + BLUE JEANS
If you already own a neutral vest and a perfect pair of blue jeans, you are off to a great start! If not, I highly recommend this linen vest I recently found from Donna Karan (I know, blast from the past!) that will up the ante on your personal style. The cross-over neckline is super flattering and gives the vest an extra stylish twist. I also love these wide-leg jeans from Agolde which has a slightly barreled leg shape. These black sandals that tie up the ankle along with the interesting design of these gold hoops and aviator sunglasses add an edgy touch to this effortless look. The bold pattern of the Loewe bag lends a graphic nature and helps tie all of the neutral shades together.
BLACK TOP + WHITE JEANS
Black and white is such an easy way to style a neutral palette and will forever be a timeless look. If you love an easy-to-wear minimalist wardrobe filled with neutral basics, this outfit idea is a great option for you! This black top has a sexy off the shoulder neckline that is the perfect style to wear for date night. Pair it with flared white jeans that have a raw hem and greek-inspired sandals for an effortless style. Adding chic jewelry like this layered gold and pearl necklace and cat-eye sunglasses helps to finish off the look. This outfit creates the perfect backdrop for the earthy tones and graphic pattern of the Loewe bag.
BLACK DRESS + NEUTRAL SANDALS
A black dress might be one of the most perfect neutral pieces to style virtually anything back to! I love that this outfit has a few different textures from the pattern of the bag and the weave of the sandals to the sleekness of the black dress that adds visual interest to an otherwise easy, neutral look. With stylish accessories like this gold heart necklace and metal-framed sunglasses, this look can go from daytime casual outings to evening gatherings easily. Just add a graphic bag like this one to hold all of your essentials and make this timeless style pop.
One fun surprise about the Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza Puzzle Raffia Bag is that it folds up into a flat square, making it the perfect bag to pack for all of your weekend getaways and vacations you have coming up. Pair this bag with any of these neutral outfit ideas on your next getaway!
