EXPERIMENT WITH: SAME-COLORED SEPARATES

We love the look of two closely-colored separates working together as one. It has a clean, dynamic streamlined effect often only achieved through suiting-options, but with jersey combinations and tailored shorts.

The key with same-hue dressing lies with the accessories. We like the look of a nude pump with leg-baring versions of this style because it prevents the color-scheme from being interrupted and gives the illusion of longer legs. As for your color selections, we'd pick from the array of popular spring neutrals like gray and olive (nude would look amazing as well). Read our notes above on how experiment with pairing same-colored separates and shop our suggestions in the thumbnails below.
