Making An Entrance In Winter Neutrals

By Gessica Marmotta

July 5, 2021

Hello,

As I always say, style is dressing for the mood you want to create and while that can be about adding bright colours to lift your winter spirits, it can equally be about the chic simplicity of neutrals that create a warm and cohesive feel.

In this post, Iâ€™ve carefully curated a mix of neutral shades that work together harmoniously, yet still have edge. Each is understated, yet simultaneously next level and each is something different for work or social. Either way, your entrance in any of these will not go unnoticed.

Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts. I love receiving messages, it keeps me motivated and inspired. Please keep them coming.

With style and love,

Gessica Â XI love the edginess that the asymmetry of this skirt adds to this otherwise, classic mix of black, cream and browns. The spectacular big bow feature on the fitted black knit top is counterbalanced by the unequally sized gold earrings to create balance. The complementary tans of the bag and boots integrate perfectly.

Teem these beautiful flared trousers with a longline, shaped jacket in cream and pay homage to the 70s by adding an animal print turban. Yes, you can wear a turban to work. Push yourself as much in your style as you do your professional life. Gold leaf earrings and gold metallic pumps add pizzazz while maintaining it in the neutral zone.

Creamy and dreamy, this is an elegant ensemble built around a flattering and tasteful dress. Iâ€™ve added a studded bow leather belt over the existing one and pinned a gold lip brooch on the pocket to create interest. The flower and pearl earrings delicately frame the stunning neckline. Cream crocodile boots ground it firmly in 2021.

Oo la la I love the yin and yang of flow and structure. The floor dragging, relaxed trousers seem liquid, especially when worn with a crisp white vest under a semi-structured asymmetrical hem jacket. The double Chanel necklaces make this chic neutral just that little bit different, without going over the top. Finish with black and white stiletto pumps and a black bag.

This is a story about the part princess, part rebel, that revels in mischief. The soft brown tulle skirt has a touch of bohemia, its dramatic volume offset beautifully by the fitted cream knit adorned with a statement neckpiece. The edgy lace up sneaker boots are a homage to modern punk, and the ever so pretty rose detail leather bag just to throw in the feminine touch. You can feel the spirit of independence, a woman in 2021 marching towards 2022 in her own special way with no set rules.
