Say "yes" to neutrals
The summer trend of neutral colours will keep truckin’ through the fall.

Neutral shoes have proven themselves a necessity this summer. Neutral coloured heels and flats have been my best investment this season. Neutral sandals, pumps and flats have been selling like hotcakes in stores this summer, and the trend has staying power for the fall.
Neutrals are a great investment because they match everything. They are definitely the best purchases to get your money’s worth, especially if you are a student on a tight budget and still want to follow the trends.
This has also been a huge trend in nails this season as well. Nudes and neutral tones have been big in the OPI and Essie nail polish lines, as well as smaller brands. Neutrals are also the best nail polishes because often we don’t have a lot of time to paint our nails and have to commit to painting them. If we’re painting them neutral colours, it goes with all your outfits and if you have the good brands, your nail polish can last up to a week.
This trend has also been great for makeup. I’m not a huge makeup wearer and love neutral colours for makeup because it doesn’t look like I’m wearing too much. It’s great because it also saves some time. I usually just use my Covergirl roll-on makeup in the brown tones with a little mascara and I’m ready to go! Quick and easy and you don’t have to worry about your makeup matching or looking great with your outfit.
Neutrals have definitely been my favourite trend this summer and have not broken my bank yet. They’re great because they go with everything and make life a little easier. I love the ease of it all and am hoping this trend continues into the fall. Even if it doesn’t, you can definitely still use all your nude shoes, makeup and nail polish. Use the new trends in different ways and tie them in! It’s definitely worth the investment.
