A hot pink dress that I can’t seem to part with is really the only color in all of my closet. I am frequently asked why I don’t wear more color or why I hate color. I don’t really hate color and I occasionally wear it, but I have found so many perks of a neutral wardrobe. Some of these perks have actually transitioned over to home decor and that is probably fueling the theory that I hate color. So what are the perks of a neutral wardrobe? A neutral wardrobe is timeless. There is no arguing that little black dress or classic white button down will never be out of style. I have found that neutral pieces can be repeated more often and tend to last well beyond trends. I have also found that there is more attention to detail in neutral pieces giving them an elevated high end look. I hate to admit that I still wear pieces in my closet that I bought 5 or 6 years ago. A neutral wardrobe is versatile and practical. It is so easy to dress up, dress down and mix and match neutral pieces. This makes packing so much simpler, especially when flying and space is at a premium. The neutral color scheme makes it easy to travel with just a few pairs of shoes and bulk items like coats can can be paired with all outfits. A neutral wardrobe allows me to be more intentional. I used to have a much more colorful closet but started noticing that the trendy and colorful pieces often ended up in a giveaway pile. Instead of buying multiple colorful tops I now buy a few neutral tops that will go with most everything in my closet. Since I am buying less I can spend a little more on each piece and fill my wardrobe with quality over quantity.
