I Live in Neutrals; Here Are 50+ Outfits I've Saved on Instagram For Inspiration

A neutral outfit [1] might not seem like the most inspired idea when it comes to getting dressed, but as a bona-fide neutral addict, I can tell you how much impact a muted outfit can have. When sticking to colours like black, brown, grey, ivory, navy, and beige, you have a huge opportunity to experiment with layers [2], textures, and silhouettes without feeling like you're going overboard. For me personally, I somehow always feel like I'm overdoing it if I mix and match brighter colours and prints. But when I do so with a subdued palette, I'm so much more willing to try an outfit formula I haven't worn before (right now, sportier pieces like sweatshirts and sneakers [3] are on my list of things to try as an offset to my tailored and feminine staples), embrace different accessories (the "ugly" shoe trend [4] being one I'm currently obsessed with), and experiment with statement-making shapes and materials like a superoversize blazer or a leather [5] dress. Don't get me wrong, I love to try trends and put new colours [6] and prints to the test. It's just a lot easier for me to piece together a good outfit when it's grounded in neutrals.

Another reason I love neutral colours? The versatility! I live for wardrobe basics [7] like tees, jeans [8], and slip dresses because they make a hurried morning a little more manageable. I know I can throw on any of these items in pretty much any combination with a cool shoe, a great bag, and a piece of jewellery and look put-together. Since I tend more minimalist [9] with my aesthetic, I also know that when I buy a new item, be it an investment piece or affordable find, it will instantly jive with the rest of my wardrobe and, most likely, last in my closet a long time.

Since I stick to neutrals on most days, I know how easy it is for fatigue to set in. So I've rounded up 50-plus outfits I saved in my "styling inspiration" folder on Instagram [10] with the hope that it will help spark new outfit ideas the next time you're taking good old neutrals for a spin. From tailored to sporty and feminine, tons of inspiration lies ahead.
