Rock the Look: In the Nude

By Anna Rice

This spring, fashion is all about variety in your wardrobe. Although bright colors are a must-have trend this year, mixing in some neutrals is also a fashion “do.” Instead of donning black, like you have been all winter, rock a nude garment instead. It is a lot fresher for the warm weather months, plus painfully chic and sexy. Showing a little skin without really showing any skin? H-O-T.

Afraid your skin will look washed out? Pair something nude with bright accessories, like the hot pink shoes and bag in the outfit below. And pass up things that are super tight for clothes that drape loosely – you don’t want to look like you’re actually nude.

If you’re not ready to go au naturale just yet, incorporate the trend with your accessories. Nude-colored heels and bags are also a popular trend this spring. Not only do they match practically everything, but a nude pump will elongate your legs giving you some Heidi Klum gams.

Here’s another tip for wearing nude: slather an illuminating moisturizing lotion, like Nivea Silky Shimmer, all over your arms and legs. This will keep your clothes from blending in with your skin completely.
