What Colour Tops to Wear with Cream Suit

The best top colours to wear with a cream suit are lavender, light blue and pink. Cream is a neutral, so it lets lavender be the accent without clashing. Navy, black, grey and camel also work. Be careful with cream: a turtleneck is more casual than a suit, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: head-to-toe cream is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
