When you think of summer colors, blinding hues such as yellow, lemon, and pink are quick to come to mind. But did you know that the season is equally as favorable to muted tones like beige? Yes! This season, celebrities and top style influencers are showing witty ways to wear beige in summer and we’re totally here for it. Read on to discover how.
It’s not just the fashion industry that has caught the beige fever, this neutral tone has become popular in the interior design circle as well. As the all-white home trends slowly give way, people are now showing more interest in beige walls and furniture. The beauty world is also not left out with the craze for neutral-toned saturating the air. Simply put, it’s the beige revolution and everyone’s getting aboard.
What is beige color?
Although beige comes in a plethora of shades, each one is soft enough to steal your heart without your consent. According to Wikipedia, “beige is variously described as a pale sandy fawn color, a grayish tan, a light-grayish yellowish brown, or a pale to grayish yellow.” Notice the subtlety in each variation?
This calmness of tone gives beige favor over some other tones in the area of versatility, timelessness, and luxe appeal. Have you noticed that when rocked correctly a beige outfit can be the instant slay definer you needed to make an effortless fashion statement? Well, that’s all thanks to the unique tone.
When thinking of how to wear beige in summer, the starting point is to emphasize the lightness of the season and pair it with other interesting colors. This is because the psychology of colors teaches us that muted tones often carry a certain weight, so we can walk around this by opting for lightweight fabrics and/or bright tones. For instance, if you’re going for a full-on beige monochrome outfit in summer, then it’s wise to do so in light fabrics. Never pair heavy fabrics and dull colors in summer. That’s not just the vie of the season.
