Ask any fashion person, and they’ll tell you that wearing neutral colors is a no-brainer for any season. One of those is fashion-minded actress Dove Cameron, who stepped out twice in NYC recently wearing outfits that gave officecore vibes. For her first look, she wore a white button-down with a bright red tie, and a skirt that wasn’t in the go-to neutral shade of black, but instead a color trend that’s much more spring-friendly: gray—a gray wool maxi skirt, specifically. For her second look, she wore a pair of gray wide-leg pants with a blazer in a similar hue, layered under an oversized coat. This color choice is an easy styling-for-spring trick that anyone can recreate. While black bottoms are often thought of for winter, as we transition into spring, gray is an equally versatile neutral to incorporate into your outfits.
