What are neutrals and how to choose which ones to wear

Neutrals – What are They and How to Wear Them

Colour, Wearing ColourBy Imogen LamportSeptember 20, 20169 Comments

What is a neutral? Basically, we define most neutrals as colours that are ‘off the colour wheel‘ – as in we don’t give them a name of the rainbow colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet) so we’re talking grey, brown, white, black, tan, camel etc.  These are bascially the non-colours.  They are created by…

There is so much out here on the internet about wardrobe capsules. When I started writing about them six years ago, it wasn’t something that people talked much about.

How to Build Your Style from Ground Zero

capsule wardrobes, Personal Style, Reader questionsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 14, 20166 Comments

My question is this: I’ll be turning 50 in a few months and still haven’t discovered my personal style – from hairstyle, clothing style, colors, fabrics.. the whole thing. When I was young, we didn’t have finances except for hand-me-downs and thrift stores. I didn’t learn “style” when I most girls did. But at my…

So I thought I’d do a quick survey and ask you: Which are your preferred social…
