Mastering Beach Style: Guide to Neutral Tones - Tips & Trends

Embracing the Elegance of Neutrals for Beach Days

Our newest collection, 'Girls In Beige' is inspired by the gentle hues of seashells and the soft sands of pristine beaches. Let me guide you on styling these neutral tones for an effortless beach look.

Layering with Different Shades

One of the most stylish ways to wear neutrals is to layer different shades. The subtle variations in color add depth and sophistication to your beach outfit. Start with a lighter shade, like a soft beige bikini, and pair it with a slightly darker linen trousers. The key is to keep the colors in the same family but play with different intensities. This technique creates a visually appealing and cohesive look that's both modern and timeless.

Accessorizing with Pearls and Seashell Jewellery

To elevate your swimwear, add a touch of elegance with pearls or seashells. These natural elements resonate with the beach environment, creating a harmonious and stylish ensemble. 

Layering these necklaces with dainty seed beads necklaces or chains creates a beautiful look; playing around with different jewellery is a great way to express your style.

Neutral-Toned Accessories: The Perfect Complement

Complement your swimwear with neutral-toned accessories. Think claw clips, headbands, caps, straw hats, and beach bags in shades that echo your outfit. These accessories not only serve practical purposes but also add layers of style to your beach attire. For instance, a straw hat not only protects you from the sun but also adds a touch of sophistication to your look.

Nail Trends to Watch: From Pearl Chrome to French Tips

Your nails are an extension of your style, and the latest trends in nail color are all about neutral tones. Pearl chrome, with its subtle sheen, adds an understated glamour to your beach look. For a classic style, opt for a French tip with a twist – perhaps with beige accent lines or beige flowers on your ring finger . These nail trends complement the neutral tones of your swimwear, completing the overall aesthetic. 

The Visual Appeal of a Good Tan

Finally, let's not forget the allure of a good tan, which looks incredible against neutral tones. The contrast between the warm glow of tanned skin and the soft hues of your swimwear creates a stunning visual effect. Remember to tan responsibly, prioritizing skin health and protection.

Styling Tips for a Complete Beach Look

Creating the perfect beach look is all about balance and harmony. Here are some styling tips to help you achieve that flawless neutral-toned ensemble:

1. Mix and Match Bikini Styles:

'Girls In Beige' offers a variety of bikini tops and bottoms in matching colors, allowing for endless combinations. Experiment with different styles to find the one that flatters your body the most

2. Flowy Cover-Ups:

Pair your swimwear with a flowy cover-up, like a crochet skirt or sheer shirt. This not only adds an element of modesty but also brings a chic, relaxed vibe to your beach attire. Opt for materials like light cotton or linen for a breathable, comfortable feel.

3. Footwear:

Complete your look with neutral-toned sandals or flip-flops. They should be comfortable for beach walks yet stylish enough to complement your overall look. Leather or faux leather in light browns or beige can be great choices.

4. Minimalist Jewelry:

Besides pearls and seashell jewellery, consider adding minimalist pieces like thin gold bangles or a delicate anklet. This adds a touch of sophistication without overpowering the simplicity of the neutral tones.

5. Sunglasses:

Choose sunglasses with frames that match the neutral color scheme. Not only do they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also add a cool, fashionable edge to your look.

How to Choose the Right Shades for Your Skin Tone

While neutrals are universally flattering, certain shades complement specific skin tones better. Here’s a quick guide:

• Fair Skin: Opt for cooler neutrals like soft, pale beiges. These shades contrast nicely with fair skin without overpowering it.
• Medium Skin: Warm beiges, light browns, and olive tones work well. They harmonize with the natural warmth of medium skin.
• Darker Skin: Embrace the full range of neutrals. Rich browns, deep tans, and even stark whites look stunning against darker skin tones.

Styling neutrals for the beach is about blending simplicity with elegance. By layering shades, accessorizing wisely, and making sustainable fashion choices, you can create a look that's both timeless and trendy. Remember, the best outfit is one that you feel confident in <3
