Nude is all the talk right now in fashion and no, we’re not talking about being naked, we’re talking the colour palette. Nudes and neutrals are a go-to palette for the autumn/winter seasons, and we love it. Not to rule out colour completely, but trend forecasters are saying that you should invest in the trend, as dressing up in nude will make your life so much simpler. Let’s delve into it.
Why nude?
As you may know, nude is one of the easiest colours to pair with anything because of its neutral tone. Nude creates a base colour for whatever you’re pairing it with. However, in the AW/23 season, we are combining nude on nude, with a strong focus on different shades and textures.

Where do I begin?
The best way to start incorporating nude into your wardrobe is by investing into your everyday essentials.
- A pair of pants that allows for versatility from day to night.
- A nude jacket, either denim or pleather.
- A nude heel is a must!
- Layering pieces like a turtle neck, knitted jersey.

How do I pair my nudes together?
Look, when it comes to fashion there are rules…but what’s more important is your personal style, which only you know how to execute. The guideline for layering nudes is making sure you have a light and dark contrast. Include some texture in your look, whether that be your bag or earrings.

Accessories?
The great thing about accessories is the fact that they are meant to add fun to your look. When it comes to combining elements for a nude look, white is a great colour to invest in. You can also look at details in your accessories, either textures or stud detailing.
