We all feel like a bunch of Andy Sachs in the world of Miranda Priestly when it comes down to wearing neutral tones while looking like a fashionista every day. Beige as a shade is a staple, it does not move with trends, it just gets adapted into them, be it old money or academia, beige is the “wallflower” amidst shades blending seamlessly into every environment, going unnoticed yet being the go-to because of its versatility. But as much as we love it, it can be a bit tricky to style!
10 Failproof Outfits That Answer "What Goes With Beige Pants?"
What Colour Goes With Beige Pants?
Even while beige is a muted, minimal tone with loads of shade variants and similar colours, it can be overwhelming when it comes down to planning an entire outfit around it. Beige itself has a plethora of shades which are either earthy and warm or elegant and sophisticated. Khaki, cream, light brown, and shades of peach and white are often clubbed under the single banner of “beige”, devolving looks of their distinction over textures and shapes and how that changes an entire outfit.
Here's How To Plan Around Beige
1. In fashion alchemy, achieving the perfect outfit boils down to three elements — textures, shape, and colour. Make sure it's coherent – if your outfit shines through texture, opt for a simple shape; if it pops with colour, keep fabrics and shapes understated; and if textures and colours are minimal, make the silhouette sing.
2. While beige is a muted tone, it's crucial to avoid monotony. Say no to dull colours and embrace the vibrancy. Accessorise with gold accents, and choose bags, shoes, and belts that complement each other without turning into a colour waterfall. And don’t forget, muted does not mean dull!
Here are 10 beige pant outfit ideas that perfect for you to dabble with.
Back To Basics With Black
Ideal for those regular work day outfits, black is a great choice to go with those semi-formal and formal fits. Doesn’t mean black won’t work in any other aesthetic just that black would be the best choice when you need to look subdued, seamless and put-together on those messy days when you’re running late.
Pair those wide legged trouser like pants with a solid black top and you’re good to go, but if you’re feeling a bit fancier add in a chic oversized blazer, some shades and a large tote bag with heels to complete the look for a more 9-9 vibe.
Old Money In Monochrome
This is a bit tricky as it can easily go from being an elegant society girl to ‘golf dad’, which is why drop the classic polo t-shirt for a stylish lengthy top, either a shirt or a puffy sleeved one with an interesting neckline. Choose interesting textures like ribbed or corduroy to add flair without going overboard.
Casual flared beige pants and an oversized shirt, preferably satin or silk are the way to go. But you can also add in sunglasses or a scarf for a chicer vibe. Even a chic long coat for colder days will work. Complete the look with a unique small handbag.
Be The Moment With Bold Shades
Exude main character energy and make heads turn with bold choices like red and navy blue. Keep it simple and avoid heavy textures. Match your shoes and bags to the top, or introduce a striking accessory to complete the look.
Primary colours are a bit difficult to carry with beige, especially when you’re straying from the family colours of green and brown, but if the assignment is understood, it makes a statement.
Try pairing a corset with beige shorts. And add a blazer or jacket for making the outfit more coherent. With jewellery and accessories, only add in statement pieces which are within the colour palette of your top and overall, further, always remember that gold statement pieces always work.
Academia Aesthetic With Earthy Tones
Academia is all about textures. So we'd say focus more on plaid, wool, gingham textures and embrace earthen colours like brown, green, olive green, rust, and caramel. These shades effortlessly blend with beige in any silhouette or texture. Add minimal jewellery and coordinate with black or earthen coloured bags and shoes for a timeless appeal.
This green slytherin sweater is perfect for plaid beige pants, or you can also go with this rusty multicolor oversized sweater for a fall look. Pair it with chunky boots and throw in a belt if you’re wanting to create a proper outfit, or just go casual with an artsy, canvas tote bag.
LBB tip: Wear headphones instead of earphones or earbuds as it really gives the classic dark academia vibe to your look!
Preppy It-Girl With White
Preppy girls are the Blair Waldorfs of the world. They are the moment and you constantly look up to them for their style as they are the trendsetters. Thus for such elegant and rich outfits, stick to the same colour family with white, cream or off-white.
With skinny or straight fit beige pants try a collared white button up top, with puffy sleeves for a crisp look. To make it preppy wear a stylish statement headband and minimal and elegant pearl jewellery. Make sure to pick a branded accessory such as bag, shades or jacket for a complete Blair Waldorf makeover!
Go Weird Girl Aesthetic With Bright Colours
The weird girl aesthetic is all about vibrancy and maximalism, having multiple colours, textures and prints in contrasting layers. Experiment with mauve, fuschia, orange, yellow, or burgundy. Strike a balance with muted tones in these colours, opting for interesting textures like fleece or linen. Add rustic or metallic jewellery for making a moment out of it.
Take a flowy skirt like khaki or beige palazzos for pants and a bright multicolor top, plus points if it’s furry or woollen or a printed oversized t-shirt with a full sleeve inner under it. Add multicoloured hair ties or clips in your hair with a funky hairstyle and you’re good to go!
Ride The Korea Wave With Pastels
Infuse your outfit with Korean-inspired style using lavender, mint green, or sky blue. Focus on silhouettes more here by going for boxy shaped structures. Make sure your outfit is cinching at the waist, but slightly loose everywhere else.
For the basics choose a pair of basic beige Korean trousers, pair it with either a pastel shirt or T-shirt directly, make sure it’s slightly oversized and tucked in neatly. Avoid full sleeves here, if it’s cold then either take an inner or go for an oversized jacket, it can either be varsity, bomber or denim but keep it in the lighter tone. Accessorise with fun cute bags and jewellery and complete the look with matching bag and comfortable sneakers.
Lay It Out In Leather
Beige pants are not just denim or linen, we also have leather beige pants which give a model off-duty vibes if put together right. Although leather is not suitable for all day long wear, it is just perfect for a night out.
Pair sleek shiny leather pants with either a body suit or a sheer top for when you're headed out for the night. Don’t just limit it to black, add in more colours such as red or violet to the mix to keep it fun. Keep the jewellery gold here as we want to be classy, but don’t be afraid to wear minimal ones, go bold. Finish the look with a cropped camo or bomber jacket to slay the night!
Go The Traditional Way With Prints
If it’s just one of those days when nothing goes, a kurti will always give you the confidence. When pairing with something beige, go with kurtis with prints — block or hand printed ones which bring in a local element to the fit. Pair any kind of beige pants with a long or short Kurta of dark hues such as maroon, burgundy, bottle green, navy and opt for statement jewellery and a nose ring for something extra.
LBB tip: Put on a small “bindi” and bold Kajal to get the most out of this look, and tie your hair in a sleek updo.
Boho it up for a bea-ige-y vibe
Contrary to popular opinion beige can be a great shade for those beach dates or hot summer days. The trick is to wear sheer or crocheted beige pants to keep cool.
You can either go flowy by pairing it with a bralette, long shrug, and a large hat for a beachy look, or pair it with a crop crochet top and crochet shrug for a chic boho look.
