Neutral Territory

It may be easy to overlook, but beige and nude pieces are as important as your old blue jeans or little-black-dress in your wardrobe – and its time they get the attention they deserve. As trends lean further towards understated looks, with an emphasis on quiet luxury and the glamification of the “soccer-mom” or “equestrian-chic”, neutral tones are central to this mood board of sophistication. Keep reading to learn how the Thomas’s Marlborough team recommends the best way to rock this timeless palette.

Legacy brands do it best

It is no surprise that fashion houses with rich histories, like Ralph Lauren, Barbour and R.M. Williams, are leading the runways when it comes to doing beige well. Their tailored silhouettes and patterns have been around for decades, demonstrating these brands are iconic for a reason. Whether you are on the hunt for a structured chino or a beige quilted jacket, these timeless brands are symbols of sophistication for a reason. Ask the Thomas’s team what are the most celebrated pieces from each brand to learn more about their style legacies.

Building blocks of the wardrobe

Neutral tones are the backbone of your closet – the perfect foundations to build your wardrobe around. Whether you opt for a tonal look or a pop of colour, a good quality basic is the most important pairing to make any statement piece shine. You will continue to reach for beige and nude pieces this season and the next, and the next. Our holy grail pick is a timeless beige coat, nude pump, or neutral bag, that is undoubtedly going to compliment any outfit.

Beige doesn’t need to be boring

Words like ‘functional’ and ‘practicality’ maybe aren’t the most alluring adjectives when it comes to creating your dream wardrobe, but beige and nudes don’t need to be drab. Don’t be afraid to get a little bit playful with different textures and tones when it comes to your basics. Create depth by mixing caramels with rich browns and honey tones or opting for a contrast collar or lining to mix up the look.
