You know how much I love color but neutrals are essential to a functional wardrobe so here’s the scoop on
the best neutral colors for your Color Code.
Let me be clear. I refer to purple, emerald green, true red and turquoise as “neutral” colors because they are neither warm nor cool.
What I’m talking about here are colors in a neutral palette meaning beige, gray, white and brown.
The fact is, every wardrobe needs some neutral pieces. Even if you’re like me and LOVE color, you still need a black tee or a pair of white linen pants that will allow you to mix and match your outfits.
As a disclaimer, the basics in your wardrobe like dress pants, blazers and jackets don’t HAVE to be in a neutral color!
When I give you your Signature Color, I make sure you have two to four neutral colors. Sticking to those is the key to a streamlined and flexible wardrobe.

Ideally, you’d choose one or two neutral shades to stick to (black and white, for example) for a mix-and-match wardrobe.
This is an example of a neutral wardrobe. You’ll see a lot of brown, white and gray with some denim blue and little pink mixed in.
So when it comes to choosing dress pants or a basic layering tee, do you know what color to choose?
