Pantone Toasted Almond
Whether you call it taupe, tan or toasted almond, this Pantone Spring 2015 shade may look like it’s hard to pull off (especially on a pale chick like myself), but I promise it’s not. It’s far from off-white or a light tan, so it’s socially acceptable to wear to weddings and it looks great against a spring or summer glow. The timeless shade pairs well with most pastels and brights, especially a bright orange or cooler pinks and mints. To keep the shade from overwhelming you– since it can blend into your skin tone– look for thicker, structured fabrics like suede or faux leather.

I have a pair of work chinos that are in this exact shade and I wear them often in the spring and summer since they’re so versatile. I can easily dress them up with a lace top or dress them down with a basic striped tee (yay for work dress codes that aren’t too strict!)
love this color and it can easily be matched with other colors.
What a pretty neutral shade – I love that sweater!
Such a great neutral! It works with just about everything!
LOVE this color and these finds. Toasted almond was always my favorite ice cream bar at school lunch growing up 🙂
I didn’t notice toasted almond until now. What a pretty neutral shade!
