This season's neutral...

So it's a well known fact that leopard is a neutral - so it's not that.  

Nope, we're talking camo.  Sorry, I should have said that I"m not dissing the leopard - still feeling a lot of love for the big cat but camo has taken pride of place as my new favourite neutral. 

Ok I hear you at the back - yes it's a print, but BUT BUT, it also doubles up as a neutral.  I will say that I do usually prefer to pair it with another print that also has a hint of green to it but believe me - it works. 

They're also amazing for layering.  I love the look of a hoodie underneath with wide leg trousers and trainers.  OR the other option for when it does get cooler is to layer over it.  They "tend" to be mostly quite lightweight so are ideal to wear underneath an oversized coat or long fluid trench.  And then of course there are of course the parkas.  Not too many of them around at the moment but I'll keep an eye on them - I have one from Topshop that's a couple of years old and it's been a life saver in the rain.

I have two jackets that have been superb during lockdown for me.  One which is cropped but quite oversized and has been amazing for over dresses and - actually pretty much anything. The second is longer and slightly more fitted with an adjustable drawstring waist and again works for so many different outfits.

New Look again appear to come up trumps.

Now there are other shades other than a khaki green. 

The much lighter shades.  These work so well with Autumnal shades of camel, beige and creams.  And pale pink.

Now it does appear that we're heading for a teensy tiny Indian Summer for the next couple of days BUT I'm still planning on wearing sandals well into September.  And I've been saying forever that I'm going to be doing the sandals - or do I go straight into the boots... Hmmm I'll see.
