A neutral outfit might not seem like the most inspired idea when it comes to getting dressed, but as a bona-fide neutral addict, I can tell you how much impact a muted outfit can have. When sticking to colors like black, brown, gray, ivory, navy, and beige, you have a huge opportunity to experiment with layers, textures, and silhouettes without feeling like you're going overboard. For me personally, I somehow always feel like I'm overdoing it if I mix and match brighter colors and prints. But when I do so with a subdued palette, I'm so much more willing to try an outfit formula I haven't worn before (right now, sportier pieces like sweatshirts and sneakers are on my list of things to try as an offset to my tailored and feminine staples), embrace different accessories (the "ugly" shoe trend being one I'm currently obsessed with), and experiment with statement-making shapes and materials like a superoversize blazer or a leather dress. Don't get me wrong, I love to try trends and put new colors and prints to the test. It's just a lot easier for me to piece together a good outfit when it's grounded in neutrals.
Another reason I love neutral colors? The versatility! I live for wardrobe basics like tees, jeans, and slip dresses because they make a hurried morning a little more manageable. I know I can throw on any of these items in pretty much any combination with a cool shoe, a great bag, and a piece of jewelry and look put-together. Since I tend more minimalist with my aesthetic, I also know that when I buy a new item, be it an investment piece or affordable find, it will instantly jive with the rest of my wardrobe and, most likely, last in my closet a long time.
Since I stick to neutrals on most days, I know how easy it is for fatigue to set in. So I've rounded up 50-plus outfits I saved in my "styling inspiration" folder on Instagram with the hope that it will help spark new outfit ideas the next time you're taking good old neutrals for a spin. From tailored to sporty and feminine, tons of inspiration lies ahead.
Beanie Feldstein has always stayed true to herself, both on the red carpet and in the roles she's chosen to play in movies - it's one of the main reasons the world, myself included, has been drawn to her. The Lady Bird and Booksmart actress has been working with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh on her red carpet looks for a while now, and while they are always stylish, they are also extremely wearable. (My favorite look has to be the regal Oscar de la Renta gown and matching headband that she wore to the 2020 Golden Globes.) With how real she keeps it on and off the screen, it's no surprise that she has been tapped for the latest #AerieREAL Role Model campaign.
When I walked into the room to interview the actress about her partnership with Aerie, the first thing she did was compliment me on my sparkly Tanya Taylor dress. I explained to her that I was *extra* sparkly because I was heading to my company holiday party right after, and yes, I know, it's January. Right off the bat she quipped back with, "Are they at least giving you booze?" And just like that, I was thrilled to learn that my hopes of her keeping it real 24/7 was, in fact, true.
The 26-year-old, who's recently been chosen to play Monica Lewinsky in American Crime Story, starred alongside Lana Condor, Hari Nef, Iskra Lawrence, and Aly Raisman in Aerie's latest campaign. "I feel very inspired by all of them and what they're doing. We're all so different and yet have the same kind of authenticity. We want to show real women doing what they do best and it's very meaningful to me."
For moments when she is feeling down on herself - because everyone has those - Beanie has a special saying: "'They either want the Bean or they don't want the Bean.'"
In a world where Facetuning your Instagram feed is as common as owning an iPhone, Beanie has teamed up with the brand because they've been against retouching photos for a long time now. "I think that's really inspirational. They're setting the bar high. It was really meaningful to see stretch marks, cellulite, and scarring and be like, 'This is humanity. This is what human bodies look like,'" the actress said. It's one of the main reasons she also tries to stay authentic on her social media platforms as well. "It would feel very icky to me to be false in any way. So, I always try to be myself."
For moments when she is feeling down on herself - because everyone has those - Beanie has a special saying she came up with when she was a teenager. "'They either want the Bean or they don't want the Bean.' The Bean can be anyone. It can be if you're not getting the right grade in a class, not getting someone that you have a crush on, or you're struggling at work. You have to own who you are because you are the only person on this earth that can give what you can give. I think that's really beautiful and it always kind of pulls you back into yourself and what you have," Beanie said. "I made it up when I was like 16 or 17, and looking back I'm like, 'Honestly, great job, girl.' Proud of my younger self," she says while laughing.
Beanie may be just getting started when it comes to fashion, but she's already found her groove. She's worn major brands like Oscar de la Renta, Tory Burch, and Lela Rose on the red carpet. "I've always grown up just in love with how feminine Prada and Miu Miu are. I just like the colors and the bows. It's so me. I live for it. I got to go to [Prada's] Paris Fashion Week show, and I was in literal heaven. I wore a headband with a bow on top of it, and I was like, 'This [is] peak Prada.'" She also revealed that Booksmart co-star Kaitlyn Dever is not only her friend but one of her style icons. "Honestly, Kaitlin has such cool style. She is a mix of feminine and tomboy in a way that I love. Obviously, Sarah Jessica Parker has always been my girl in Sex in the City. I just dream of that closet and like putting clothes in the oven."
"It would feel very icky to me to be false in any way. So, I always try to be myself."
While SJP had a way of making some of the wildest trends seem so casual to wear on a daily basis, Beanie's approach to trying on an intimidating trend is much more relatable. "I literally have never worn a bike short once in my life and I was like, "I don't know about the bike short," referencing the printed style she wore during the Aerie shoot. "[Aerie's team] just said, 'Just try everything on and you can wear whatever you want and what makes you feel comfortable.' First of all, it's such a beautiful thing to empower the person who's wearing it and for them to say whatever you want goes. I put them on, and I thought, "This is the new me." I love them so much. I wear them every week."
Incidentally, it reminded me about the first time I tried out biker shorts too. (I even wrote a story about the whole experience and how I struggled to find a way to make the tricky trend feel more like me.) Like Beanie, I ended up loving the shorts when I wore them with pieces from my everyday wardrobe like sneakers and a long-sleeved tee. I left the interview thinking that maybe that's the magic of Beanie. It's her uncanny ability to bring her authentic self to every experience - be it a character, the red carpet, or a major fashion campaign - and inspire those around her to do the same.

We get it, you probably think of Fashion Week as a street-style circus, and it kind of is - outside of actually watching designers reveal their new collections, of course. But not everyone wears an elaborate costume to said circus. This season, we the POPSUGAR Fashion editors have decided to stay true to our own independent styles all month long. That doesn't mean we won't get excited to construct outfits we feel super confident in and it doesn't mean we're ignoring the latest trends. But we are putting a lot of faith and trust in the essentials.
Below you'll find pieces - from of-the-moment accessories to completely necessary basics - that we're building our wardrobes around for New York Fashion Week. The best part is, not one item here is over-the-top in a way that's flashy enough to stop traffic. Nothing here is meant to be worn to capture a photographer's attention in the streets - instead, it's just the clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry we're really psyched about wearing far beyond Fashion Month. From dreamy silk blouses to poppy colored bags and asymmetrical earrings, we think you'll find something you like too. Keep reading to shop with us.
We're always here for the latest fashion trends from dresses to jeans, handbags to jewelry - heck, we even want to know the biggest color trends and must-have sunglasses each season! A category not to be excluded? Shoes! And while we've already broken down the biggest sneaker trends for 2020, there's a lot more in store for the new decade - think the latest in sandals, boots, flats, and heels.
After surveying the Spring/Summer 2020 runways, it became evident that shoe trends were a bit all over the map. But this is great news! It means there's a style to please every aesthetic.
For die-hard minimalists and those who err on the side of classic, modern loafers and thin and strappy sandals (otherwise known as the naked sandal) are two of the biggest trends you'll see splashed across your Instagram feed, sported on the streets, and on just about every fashion-focused woman you know for Spring. While we witnessed many an iteration of those so-thin-they're-nearly-dental-floss sandals in 2019, the new-decade update comes a little brighter in zippy shades like tangerine, yellow, and blue (of course, fail-safe neutral remains on deck).
Another carry-over trend from 2019? Square-toe shoes in just about every silhouette, heel height, and color you can imagine. With a '90s feel, they're the perfect shoe trend to try if you're all about nostalgia or seeking out a subtle update to boots, flats, heels, or mules. Speaking of subtle updates, slanted heels also rank high on our list of shoe trends to try for 2020. This look riffs off the sculptural heel trend we've seen bubble up over the past few seasons - however, it's one of those superwearable, less in-your-face type of trends that feels achingly fresh.
As for shoe trends we love for evening or simply making a statement, lace-up silhouettes and shoes with extra adornments top our list. When it comes to the former, don't be afraid to embrace the street-style-approved trend of tying them up over pants. As for the latter, I liken this trend a made-up term I call "shoe jewelry" - it includes heels, flats, and sandals with a built-in element like a chain-link or rhinestone strap for a fanciful touch. Fun, yes?
Not a heels girl? No problem. The "ugly" shoe movement continues in 2020, with hefty lug soles and futuristic sneakers as frontrunners. This trend is all about utility and nonchalance; almost as if you don't care at all (even though we totally know you do).
Ready to dive deeper into the biggest shoe trends for Spring? All eight lie ahead, plus my edit of shoes to shop at a range of price points.
Harry Styles: singer, songwriter, fashion icon, and lover of pretty things. We've consistently praised the musician for not being afraid to toe the line on what has previously been considered socially acceptable for men's fashion. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone as high-profile as Harry step out in dangly earrings and pink nail polish simply because he wants to and likes how he looks.
This is a man who went from claiming he only owned two pairs of jeans a few years ago to now praising how fun fashion can be and consistently wearing Gucci, a fashion house known for its androgynous styles as of late. Harry even defends the outfit that has been hailed as his worst - a floral Gucci suit that he still thinks is a good one - which just goes to show that even when other people try to knock him down, Harry's still going to wear whatever he damn well pleases, butterfly clips, nail polish, and all.
Scroll through to see some of our favorite times Harry said a big "f*ck you" to gender stereotypes and wore florals or carried a handbag. We could all learn a little something from Mr. Styles in this regard.
