Everybody Get Nude!

Note: the title of this post is not to be taken literally–unless, of course, that’s your thing–then I can’t knock you.

Nude dressing has been the focus of many fashion mag editorials–from nude colored dresses to slacks to nude pumps. Only thing is, the trend (as displayed in the editorials) doesn’t always work for everybody. So take a look at some “nude” clothing and accessories that will work on almost every skin tone.

Tip: Pick a hue that most closely matches your skin tone. To avoid looking “dead”, do not wear head-to-toe nude but opt for bright pops of color to keep the look lively.
