Neutrals are always in style

When I look at this photo, I envision these two riding off into the sunset on the Amalfi Coast in their vintage red Ferrari… Even though this was snapped in Copenhagen. They complement the Ferrari by being a truly stunning couple, in both looks and fashion. Let’s talk about the fashion.

Previously, I wrote about a great way to build a man’s closet here. When couples dress together, it’s important that one complements the other, and I love how these two have done just that in a subtle manner. How is it done? Well, both are wearing greyscale, neutral outfits. But there are slight details that make this pairing amazing. The man’s jacket is a darker shade of grey than the woman’s super chic, draped top. This is because of the checked pattern. Then, the woman is wearing a darker shade of pants than the man. All of the shades are hints darker. Therefore, the lighter and darker shades are at diagonals, which make this look great.

In addition, they both accessorize with neutrals. Her neutral clutch can be used everywhere, and his neutral belt can dress up or down any look. The look is made casual by his t-shirt and turned-up jacket cuffs, while she stays classic chic. I also love his vintage looking sunglasses and their voluminous hair. Everything works.

Tip for men: Make a look casual by wearing a t-shirt under your blazer, and turn up the cuffs–a great choice in the summer months.

Tip for women: Drape, drape, drape! Modern looks are all about great draping achieved through great tailoring. A little drape goes a long way.
