how to style neutrals for winter
the winter winds were blowing last week here in Georgia and have already made a reappearance. so how do we keep our style mojo going while we stay warm? it’s elementary my dear. so today it’s all about how to style neutrals for winter. i know, i know, neutrals can be boring. but then again, there is something so simple, so elegant and so chic about a soothing timeless neutral palette.
the easiest way to keep neutrals for winter fresh and interesting is by mixing different tones and textures. think a textured faux fur jacket or tweed blazer paired with a chunky knit sweater and suede booties. sticking to a spectrum of cream, brown, and beige means you can mix and match to your heart’s content as these shades go together seamlessly.

it’s been said that white and tan are colors that symbolize purity, simplicity, and stability. personally, i find something comforting about taupes, oatmeals, camels, and creams which are the basis of today’s outfit. i love how these neutrals for winter not only go seamlessly together but can be mixed and matched with bold colors as well.
these sculpting high pocket jeans (similar here, here, and here) are a recent purchase from Ann Taylor that’s sold out?! grrrr! i hate when that happens. but take heart as Ann typically restocks their denim. a style tip for white or light colored denim is to size up one size. the chunky turtleneck is from Banana Republic and the suede booties (old, similar here) are from Talbots. many of you might remember this faux fur jacket (similar here) from Vince that i scored a few years ago at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. it’s such a fun jacket to wear and instantly adds pizazz to your outfit.
to highlight your booties cuff your jeans so that they skim the top of the bootie.

Recently discovered AT jeans, really good fit!
i’ve been a big fan for years!
Good morning!
I really love this ootd. Always enjoy wearing a neutral pallette So classy. The sweater is so texturally interesting .It looks like birch bark. Appropriate for winter!
I hope you’re enjoying this Christmas season. It’s flying by!
i can’t believe christmas is a week away? this year has alternately crawled then flew by. looking forward to 2021.
This might be my favorite outfit. I love these neutrals. I am adding caramel, a dark golden brown that works like a neutral for me and coffee brown to my colors. I’m leaning toward brown rather than black this year. Black seems so stark.
it’s nice to mix things up from time to time. keeps things interesting!
I was lucky enough to score those booties at Talbot’s outlet for $15.00!! The only pair there and my size!
Love them and your look!
good for you! always love a bargain.
Glad to see you wearing browns. I wore brown before going grey. Some colors seem to wash me out but do wear chocolate brown.
love all shades of beige, camel or brown.
Have you had your colours done? Are you a Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter?
i had my colors done years ago.
Neutrals were my life before going gray. Like Blog Sister Lucy stated, they wash me out now. But your tip today to size up one for white and/or colored denim is something to consider. I’d rather have to size one DOWN, but hey, que sera, sera!~
ha ha! size is just a number, right?!
I lover your outfit Beth! I especially love your round tortoise sunglasses. Can you please share where you got them? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
the sunglasses are from Prada about five or six years old. merry Christmas!
I’ve always loved this jacket you scored. It’s too warm where I live (SF bay area) to wear one, but you inspired me to get a faux fur cardigan so I can get the look without overheating.
a faux fur cardigan will get lots of use in the Bay Area. it does get chilly there especially in the summer!
