Nude Dresses To Nude Lips: The Art Of Being Subtle Yet Chic

Take a break from colour pop and work the nude trend

Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone ace nude tones

This season is surely one with a special place for peppy colours. With ace designers embarking the colour pop trend is all its glory, we have been seeing a rainbow of colours being sported by celebs. As much as we love the trend, there are those days in this blistering heat when being subtle seems more apt. Days when we want to break away from the play of colours and switch to nude tones. And thanks to some of our favourite celebs who have been giving a chic spin to minimalist styles, we find ourselves relishing muted hues like beige, light caramel, blush pink and the like.

The truth is that being subtle could also be extremely stylish if you know how to work the trend like a pro. There are of course many tricks to it - with a little touch of shimmer, a streak of contrasting colour, well-fitted cuts or glossy sheen. Need some style inspiration to nail nude tones? Have a look:

Muted hues but chic dresses

Be it a bodycon dress or a statement gown, there are many gorgeous designs that make muted tones look on spot. Remember Sonam Kapoor in the Vera Wang dual-toned gown that she wore this year at Cannes Film Festival? Not only were there added layers at the hip, but also a vibrant yellow streak at the train that took it to a whole new level.
