(SPOT.ph) Black and white are both wardrobe essentials thanks to their versatility and timelessness. Another color that has the same functionality is beige—shades of ecru, sand, linen, cream, bone, and parchment flatter all styles and can go with any of your boldest pieces and accessories, just like blacks and whites. Moreover, there’s a subtle elegance to beige-toned clothing—perhaps because of how closely they resemble the skin, almost molding to the body. If you’re obsessed with nude ensembles or would like to stock up, we round up a few pieces you’ll want to check out.
Here are 10 beige-colored fashion finds you can shop in Manila:
Gala Sandals (P2,850) from Muni Muni
Those “Jesus sandals” that were big in the '90s just got a rustic twist care of Muni Muni’s S’ATIN collection, which features chunky sandals made with native abaca fiber. They’ll look great with boho pieces like flowy dresses or loose pants, but you can also use them to contrast against grungier outfits. We’re currently eyeing this Gala pair, which sports a silhouette reminiscent of hiking sandals—perfect for your next exotic adventure.
Available online; see a list of Muni Muni stockists.
Angular Crossbody Bag (P4,799) from Charles & Keith
You probably own several go-to black bags already, but beige tones can be just as handy and versatile while also adding a bit of light and color to a dark, monochromatic outfit. This camel-colored purse from Charles & Keith will go with pretty much any of your OOTDs, whether casual or dressy. It also adds a sophisticated touch to anything you pair it with.
