Have you ever considered how foundational pieces in neutral color ways play a crucial role in creating a versatile me-made wardrobe? They are the unsung heroes that seemlessly blend with any outfit, allowing other colors to shine or simply exuding an understated elegance of their own. And when created using natural fibers such as wool yarn, you know that this environmentally responsible textile will last for years to come.
Join me as we discuss how neutrals can create a functional and multifaceted capsule wardrobe.
Did you know Navy can be a Neutral?
When it comes to neutrals, we all have our go-to colors that we gravitate towards. Some prefer white over cream, others love black. But beyond these basics, grey, navy - even sage green or a light pink can function as a neutral. It all depends on your personal color preferences and accent pieces. Each of these shades has the power to serve as a neutral canvas for your fashion choices, offering endless possibilities for creating stylish ensembles.
Foundational Pieces
Maybe you have a selection of neutrals in your closet but they are in accent pieces rather than foundational garments. Consider making key garments in your preferred neutral colors, like a tank or tee in fingering weight for the summer. These pieces can be worn alone but offer additional versatility when layered under a cardigan or shawl in your favorite accent color .
"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." —Gianni Versace
My Plans for Adding Neutral Handmades
Next up on my "to make" list is a short sleeve tee in either our Sand or Camel colorway. With so many beautiful patterns from knit and crochet designers to choose from, it has been difficult to decide. However I have a few requirements in mind. The tee should have a simple motif or be plain, allowing my other pieces to take center stage. It should also be made with fingering weight yarn, making it suitable for summer wear while still serving as a shoulder season garment when paired with other handmade pieces. And of course it needs to fit my personal style.
Mindfully Curating a Handmade Closet
When building your wardrobe, I believe it's essential to have foundational pieces in neutral colorways. They allow you to effortlessly mix and match with other favorite colors, creating endless possisibilities for stylish ensembles. By incorporating neutrals into our wardrobes, we can create an adaptable and functional capsule wardrobe that allows us to express our personal style while maintaining a sense of cohesion.
So let's embrace the power of neutrals and elevate our me-made wardrobes to new heights of style and versatility. Click here to see our full selection of neutral colorways. Happy crafting!
