Sitting Pretty in Nude

I have a natural preference for anything that resides in the neutral palate. I’m talking grays, browns, creams, caramels, and my all-time favorite: Nude. Whenever I don’t feel like wearing white, nude is always my go-to option. It’s not easy finding the right shade of nude to sport (on both clothes and make-up), so depending on skin color, those with fairer skin should lean towards sandy-pink nudes, medium olive toned skin types should wear rose-beige hues, and darker complexions should opt for bronze-y nudes.

There’s something about this color that easily makes an outfit look romantic and effortless in the summer, and charming and dainty in the winter. Here are some deeply beautiful nude items that currently live at the top of my wish list:
