In the fashion industry, black and white has always been the two neutral color that works perfectly together in whatever occasion you're attending to. But in 2010, nude is considered as the "new black". Suprisingly, a subtle color as nude could fit into anything. From a colorful printed dress to simple black kaki pants, everything could be easily paired with a pair of nude pumps, clutch, handbags or even accessories. The trend is so widely known, that not even Hollywood celebrities are in love with the new black, but the color itself is the new phenomenon in the fashion industry.

From all around, nude is the new neutral color that created a phenomenon in the fashion industry. The simplicity of the color makes it easier for people to mix and match outfits that does not only look simple, but attractive at the same time. I personally like this trend because it is very simple. I could just go out with my friends in a nude colored shirt with jeans and gladiators without spending too much time picking through my closet. It is extremely convinience and that even myself, I have a few nude colored shirts in my closet.

Here are a few tips of how nude should be mixed with other items:


- nude pumps matches with anything as it will allow your legs to look longer and slimmer
- when you wear a nude colored top, avoid mixing it with bright colors
- best suited nude tops/pants with other neutral colors such as white or black
