The Feminine and Super Elegant Nude Color Trend for Spring

It´s a breath of fresh air to see femininity being embraced at its core on the runway. And what´s more feminine than clean, nude looks? Delicate. Soft. And elegant. These are the things that come to mind when I see nude colors — beige, cream, and sometimes pastel pink.

The nude color trend is about wearing the color that match your skin. Thus, it´s fair to say that what we often see on the runway — which eventually translate to stores — are nude colors for lighter skin.

But if you have a darker skin, like I do, finding the right nude color can be tricky. I think the only solution to this is to shop offline which will allow you to compare the color against your skin.

This isn´t an easy task to do, for sure. That´s why until now I still haven´t found clothes with the right nude color for my skin. Yet it could also be that I just didn´t look harder.

Thankfully, just because you have a darker skin doesn´t mean you can´t wear the light nude looks. As long as you know how to identify which shades flatter your skin, you´re good to go.

Here are some nude colors to consider — both for light and darker skin tones.

1. A Nude Dress Layered with a Pink Jacket

Judging from the picture this midi dress is a very faded pink tone. But it´s difficult to identify the exact shade solely from the picture. It can be darker in real. I layered it with a light pink blazer, just a little bit darker than the dress, to really level up the femininity vibe.

And then I added a pair of nude pink blush high heels in satin, which unfortunately sold out before I could publish this blog post. But you get the idea … I´m trying to match the shoes to the blazer. The result is very cohesive and polished.

2. Casual Button Down Shirt in Nude Pink

Here´s another nude pink dress which I think has a more purple tone in it than pink. But then again, it´s hard to be certain just based from the picture. It´s a long sleeve button-down shirt. You can roll up the sleeves into half with a tie.

This is perfect for a late spring or summer casual look. I finished up the look with some soft nude sandals and a straw bag.

3. A Feminine Nude Outfit for Work

This midi cocktail dress is in camel color. It can be the perfect nude color for some tanned skin. It´s very elegant and sophisticated but not too feminine for work. With the right shoes, you can wear it even to the office or to a business meeting.

The hazelnut snakeprint dress pumps match the color of the dress, so even if your shoes are printed, the result is totally polished. I would polish the look with a black structured bag.

4. Fabulous in Nude Coctail Party Dress

This cocktail dress is either in a very, very light pink or a sand white hue. It´s hard to tell. But I love the style of the dress. I´m also inspired to mimic the Rocha runway look (see top photo) by pairing the dress with a yellow or gold sandals with tassels in front. Unfortunately, I didn´t find some shoes with tassels that I liked.

But as you can see for this lookbook, the dress offers a myriad of possibilities when it comes to your shoes. Either go for a pair of nude high heels or some attention-grabbing gold heels.
