How to Style Your Outfit with Beige

Are you looking for a way to add a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe? Well, we highly recommend you consider beige!

This versatile colour can be dressed up or down, making it the perfect addition to any outfit and style. Whether you’re going for a casual daytime look or dressing up for a night out, beige clothing and accessories can help you achieve the perfect balance.

In this article, we’ll look  at the psychology of beige in fashion, how to wear beige during seasonal trends, and provide some helpful tips for creating outfits around the colour.

The Psychology of Beige in Fashion

Beige is often associated with calmness, simplicity, and neutrality. If you don’t wish to stand out, beige can be used to blend into the crowd and not evoke any strong emotions toward a certain look.

It’s also thought that wearing beige presents someone as being clean, similar to wearing white. Those who opt for beige over white may be looking to add a sense of comfort to their outfit, that wearing white can sometimes lack.  

In today’s fashion landscape, it may seem like everything is beige, especially on social media platforms. Karen Haller, a colour psychologist, has said that people may be looking to find an escape from a world full of constant colour and noise, stating “We live in a world that’s full of noise, chaos, and clutter. Finding softly coloured, minimalistic clips like this on social media can serve as a micro moment of joy and safety.” when asked about the increased usage of beige in fashion.

In fashion, beige is often used as a base colour to create a neutral palette that can be paired with other colours and patterns. It can also be used to tone down brighter colours and create a more subdued look.

Wearing Beige During Different Seasons

Beige is a colour that can be worn in any season. In the spring and summer, lighter shades of beige are often worn to create a fresh and airy look. In the autumn and winter, darker shades of beige can be worn to create a warm and cosy look.

Beige can also be incorporated into seasonal trends, such as the bohemian trend in the summer or the minimalist trend in the winter.

Tips on How to Wear Beige

When it comes to styling outfits with beige, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are some tips for creating outfits with beige that look stylish and put-together.

Choosing the Right Beige for Your Skin Tone

As you know, beige isn’t one standalone colour – there is a selection of shades and tones to choose from. Considering this, when wearing beige clothing, it’s important to consider the different forms of beige against your skin tone.

If you have fair skin, opt for lighter shades, such as ivory or champagne. If you have medium or olive skin, look for warmer shades of beige, such as caramel or honey. If you have dark skin, rich shades of beige, such as French beige, will help complement your skin tone.

How to Accessorise with Beige

Accessories are a great way to add beige to your outfit without going overboard. Beige accessories, such as shoes, belts, and bags, can add those relaxing vibes to your outfit, without going overboard. When choosing beige accessories, we recommend looking for interesting textures or materials, such as suede or leather, to provide a sense of depth to your outfit.

Combining Beige with Colours

If you’re unsure how to accessorise with different colours on a beige outfit, there are various methods to follow to ensure you look your best.
To create a sophisticated look, try combining beige with other neutral colours, such as black, white, or grey. For a pop of colour, pair beige with bold shades, such as red, green, or blue.

When combining beige with other colours, it’s important to consider the undertones of each colour. For example, beige with yellow undertones pair well with warm colours, while beige with pink undertones pairs well with cool colours.

How to Wear Beige for Different Occasions

Beige is a versatile colour that can be worn for a range of different occasions.

For a casual look, pair beige jeans with a white t-shirt and shoes. For a more formal look, try a beige blazer with black trousers and heels. For weddings and other special occasions beige dresses and skirts are perfect.

When choosing beige clothing for different occasions, consider the fabric and cut of the garment. Lighter fabrics, such as linen and cotton, are perfect for casual occasions, while heavier fabrics, such as wool and cashmere, are better suited for formal occasions.
