While adjectives like "blush", "nude", and "neutral" which are used to describe the season's new must-haves neutrals may sound enticing, actually wearing large swathes of khaki and taupe next to your skin can be a different story. To avoid looking washed out, boring or blah, be sure to spice things up with colorful accents. Coral is especially fabulous with khaki - so try it with a cute pair of sandals, and carry it through to your bag and accessories. Here, we've paired Acne's "Bacall" zip-belt dress with Pour La Victoire "Ella" sandals,
a floral "Paintbox" tote from French Connection,
CC SKYE enamel bamboo hoops,
a Skagen square-case watch
- and
a cute, packable straw topper from Nine West.
