What Colour Tops to Wear with Sage Midi Skirt

The best top colours to wear with a sage midi skirt are white, black and beige. White is a neutral, so it lets sage be the accent without clashing. Cream, navy, brown and grey also work. Be careful with lavender: a dress shirt is dressier than a midi skirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: sage and lavender are complementary; because one is muted, the contrast looks deliberate.
