The two colours

What beige and rust 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.

rust

A warm, burnt orange-brown, like terracotta. Earthy and autumnal, it's the wearable version of orange.

Works best as: Knits, shirts, skirts and trousers.
