They show stains and wrinkles easier, and are perceived as being less flattering. Never fear, we have some style solutions that will help you ‘up’ your light game, and have you looking fresh as a flower all season.
1. Texture
When wearing light neutrals you want still want to adhere to good outfit proportions. Sometimes when your whole outfit is a light color it is hard to see your shape.
