The two colours

What beige and tan 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.

tan

A light, warm brown, the colour of natural leather. Relaxed and summery, it's the most casual of the browns.

Works best as: Shoes, belts, bags and sandals.
