I Live in Neutrals, and These 7 Fresh Outfit Trends Hit the Spot

Confession: I just don’t wear a lot of colors. Period. Sure, I’ll dabble into more electric-hued looks from time to time, but my day to day basically consists of a muted color palette (especially all black). As a result, I’m consistently on the hunt for fresh outfit ideas that lean into my neutrals vibe. In fact, whenever an ensemble piques my interest as I’m scrolling through IG, I save it and revert back to it when I want to freshen up my uniform. And yep, I’m going to share a few of my recent favorite looks with you right here.
Whether you live in neutrals like me or simply want a new spring look to test out this season, keep scrolling to check out seven of the neutral outfit trends some of the chicest fashion people are embracing at the moment. And while you won’t find a pop of color in the looks coming your way, each will definitely amp up your spring wardrobe game (in my opinion, at least).
The key to a flawless all-black look is experimenting with texture to keep it unique and interesting like with this fit featuring a leather blazer, tee, and trousers tucked into moto boots.
For a polished look, a tonal blazer-and-trouser ensemble is ideal. The addition of a belt around the waist streamlines this overall silhouette.
A vest is one of the must-haves of the season. I’m particularly into one layered over a modern wide-collar shirt, complete with cropped trousers and unexpected sneakers.
Joggers are ramping up to be an It piece amongst the style set. I’m into dressing them up with a long-sleeve shirt, trench, and a knit wrapped around the shoulders for enhanced dimension.
While I’m all for an all-black ensemble featuring a leather jacket, I’m also curious about testing out an outfit like this one with the brown topper and jeans.
Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic ensemble—like this neutral fit featuring a white tee, trench, straight-leg jeans, and sneakers.
A fleece or lightweight furry jacket is ideal for those transitional temperatures—especially when teamed with trendy leather trousers and a classic tank.
