Pops of neon and coral shades are certainly found all over the runways, street style round-ups, and fashion blogs, but you should always remember that neutral shades are the basis of a stylish look. This summer, soft pinks, taupes, khakis, and faded grays are good options to pull from your closet.

Everything from shifts to shorts can be found in a neutral shade, so looking for a certain piece in one of these colors is easy to find. We love pairing a bright colored piece with something more soft to achieve an edgy, yet classic look.

Trends may usually be pretty out there, but this time around, the forefront of fashion is simple, tasteful shades that have been around since before Coco Chanel even created the tweed jacket. The best part of this trend? You probably already own a lot of it. Neutrals will always guarantee a polished look you can never go wrong with.

Planning a shopping spree in the near future? Don’t reach for Crayola-colored brights. Instead, grab that cream-colored pair of slacks or a gray mini dress. No one can tell you that wearing black or nude is playing it safe this time around. Check out the slideshow to see what our top picks are for this summer!

  2. Yeah I agree, neon accessories are fine, but too much neon is over. I love these neturals.
