The two colours

What beige and black each bring

beige

A light, warm neutral: soft, calm and summery. It is gentle next to the face on warm colouring and easy to pair with other earth tones.

Works best as: Trousers, trench coats and summer knits.

black

The deepest neutral: sharp, formal and slimming, with no temperature of its own. It makes any colour next to it look brighter, which is why it's the safest background for a bold piece.

Works best as: Trousers, shoes, outerwear and evening pieces. Near the face it can look severe on light, soft colouring.
