Earth-Toned.

I tend to overlook earth-toned pieces when I’m shopping, but a classic cut in sand beige or chocolate brown translates as sophisticated, understated style. One of the items on my short list for late summer / early fall is a brown and white stripe mariniere-style sweater, like this or this. So chic with wide leg trousers. Below, sharing a collection of natural colored pieces that I will instantly elevate any outfit.
