Neutral, cream colored nails for spring isn’t such a shock—it’s a minimalist trend that’s been gaining momentum since last year but what surprised us was seeing the demure look at shows that normally don’t go in that direction: there were soft milky shades at Marc Jacobs, pure whites at Rag & Bone, and plenty of un-done French mani’s at Chanel. This season, toning down your nails is the new way to play it cool.

Neutral Nails - Pale is always in for a sophisticated, clean look. Plus, as an extra bonus your manicure lasts a little longer because pale colors are more subtle when the polish grows away from your nail bed (Shh.. sometimes if I don’t get to my nails in time, I’ll just file them down to buy some more time!). From pale pink to beige to milky white as seen on the runways, go au naturel!

When it comes to necklines, sometimes you wonder where to begin! The goal is to balance your body type and play up and accentuate your best features. For women with a curvier, bustier figure, boatnecks, heart-shaped cuts and v-necks are very flattering. For straighter figures, a great way to add curves is to wear scoop necks, a halter neck or a deep V neck.

Boatneck

Boatnecks look best on a bustier figure. Wear them with a classic striped shirt or an on-trend striped dress.

Heartshaped

If you have a curvier body type, this style should fit perfectly at the neckline. Wear a simple T-shirt or a strapless dress to an occasion!

V-Neck

Best suited for straight figures, this shape elongates the neck and adds shape and curves. Pair under a structured blazer with skinny jeans.  

Scoop Neck

Scoop necks bring emphasis down and are best paired with a feature necklace that mimic the scoop.

Halter Neck

Halter necks cut broad shoulders and add curves. Pair a silky halter top with business suits, pencil skirts or your favorite pair of jeans.

Cowl Neck

A cowl-neck naturally drapes at the chest which creates a vertical line that elongates the body and draws the eye down. A cowl neck is super flattering when paired under a blazer for work and can be dressed up or down!
