Neutrals Are the (Unexpected) Shades of Summer

After years of dressing down at home, many of us are more than ready to get all dolled up again. You’d expect to see lots of fancy fare and bright colors, especially as the weather heats up. Which explains why retailers are pushing vivid hues, including neon. But we’re also advocating for summer neutrals.

Neutrals span a wide range of shades. We’re talking brown, beige, tan and even subtle versions of green. While you can rock white dresses and black tank tops, neutrals fall into the category of ecru, eggshell and the like.

Now you may be thinking that anything falling in this color spectrum must be pretty boring. That couldn’t be further from the truth. From tons of texture to buckles to cut-outs to sheer sections, these pieces are big on personality.

These new neutrals come in many forms. Whether you prefer your dresses sleek or slinky, your skirts micro or maxi, your tops cami or cropped, we’ve got you covered. That’s also true when it comes to the prices. You can drop a couple hundred on a designer creation you’ll wear for many summers to come. Or if you desire to try out a trend or two, you can fork over far less and score more items.

Now that you’re sold on incorporating summer neutrals into your wardrobe, keep reading to see the most stylish options out there.
