Going Nude

Trends seem to come in pairs of opposites lately. While bright colors are in for spring, on the other end of the color spectrum, toned-down nude shades are a big trend as well. Shades of beige paired with white, other nudes, or even black has taken over the market. It’s a look that’s very natural, sexy and easy to pull off and although the color has always been a favorite of fashionistas around the globe, the invasion of the nude began when Kate Middleton dazzled in a skin colored dress at her engagement.

Nude, as a color has been most often described as the color of champagne in a clear glass. However it is a very subjective matter. There are two shades of nude colors.

Warm Shades
These shades have an undertone of yellow or tan, even brown to a certain degree.

Cool Shades
These shades will go with bluish or greenish undertones. It also have peach or rosy overtones to compliment extremely fair skin. 
There are so many ways to incorporate some nude into your wardrobe, and none of them involve getting naked! From jackets to shoes, nude shades work well almost anywhere in your outfit. Here are some tips to wearing nudes this season.

• When wearing a nude color you don’t actually want to match your skin tone. In fact if you match it to your skin tone it may wash you out. Instead choose a shade that is two or three or more shades lighter or darker than your skin color.
• Cool shades look stunning in soft silk and if you can make it work, you will look your best ever in it.
• If you are anxious to hide bulges, go for crochet patterns in skin colored dresses. It will make you look funky and chic in right proportions.
• If you feel you are too skinny to carry off such a sexy color, go with lace as a material for your dress.
• The hottest way to wear nude this season is paired with a neutral like black or white. It keeps the look chic and modern and lets the nude hue really stand out. Try black skinny jeans, a nude tank, and a black or white blazer for a look that’s straight off the runways.
