A DOUBLE CREAM OUTFIT

(Location: LAGOS, NIGERIA)

Cream outfits are a great alternative to white, as they are less high-maintenance, just as luxe and a versatile neutral, so why not double it. With just a little more warmth, cream coloured outfits can be just as clean and crisp as all-white looks.

A stunning choice for weddings and races, cream outfits work well, especially with materials like lace (see how to wear cream to a wedding), but for casual looks, it works best in classic designs. When in doubt for what top to wear, a button shirt or blouse is an effortless go-to because they’re a style classic and wardrobe staple. With understanding your personal style, you’ll have a preference when styling a button shirt or blouse. Whether that is to pair it with skinny jeans, flares or playful skirts to make them less formal. 

For this double cream outfit, a blouse and skirt are the simple understated pieces that perfectly compliment each other. When executing any monochrome look, using texture and fabrics to break up the pieces is a great tool. The shine and texture of the brocade skirt is a lovely contrast against the matte of the shirt. While the monochrome bag and gladiator sandals adds contrast with the outfit. Over all, this is an easy ensemble for a day of eating out, office rounds, spa visits and beauty treats.
