How to Wear Tan this Season

Although tan and light brown are hugely popular these days, styling these magnificent colours can get tricky. For instance, if you pair tan pumps with black trousers or sport a tan tote with a beige dress, your ensemble immediately livens up. However, pairing printed fabrics and loud, bright colours with tan is an outright no-no.

How to Wear Tan

The key to wearing tan correctly lies in your pairing capabilities. When you experiment a little with different colours and textures, the magic of tan comes alive right before your eyes.

1. Go Head to Toe in Tan

Dark tan pairs well with light tan and vice versa. For instance, you could opt for a beige dress with tan pumps and a tan handbag or clutch.

2. Pair with White

Add a dash of charm to your all-white ensembles with tan. Lacy tan stilettos, tan pumps, tan wedges, tan belts and also tan clutches and handbags pair well with white.

3. Pair with Darker Shades

Different shades of tan pair well with darker hues like black, slate grey and navy blue. Try some of these fabulous combinations with tan bags, skirts, sweaters and jackets.

4. Go Monochrome with Tan

Black, white and tan is the perfect combination for limitless sophistication. Experiment with a number of pant-shirt, dress, skirt-top, jumpsuit, dress-jacket styles; use tan handbags, wallets, shoes or belts and top your look up with subtle gold jewellery.

5. Add a Pop of Colour

A pop of colour is always welcome with tan. Experiment with heel & clutch pairs of cobalt blue, turquoise or red to spruce a tan dress. It breaks the tone of sobriety in your outfit and still looks classy!
