Wardrobe basics
- Camel
- Chocolate
- Ivory
- Khaki
- Dark olive
- Pairings
- Your contrast is medium. Pair a light color with a medium or deep one: ivory with rust, camel with olive green. Keep black and pure white away from your face: camel and chocolate do the same job, with more warmth.
- Patterns
- Medium-scale, nature-inspired patterns: paisley, foliage, warm tartans, animal prints, ikat, kilim. Keep the contrast medium, with no pure white or black.
- Fabrics
- Warm, textured fabrics suit you: suede, leather, corduroy, tweed, wool, linen, raw silk. A soft golden or copper sheen works better than a cool shine.
- Glasses
- Warm tortoiseshell, amber, honey, copper, olive or gold. Golden tones warm up your look, while black, grey and silver make it harsher.
