Here are some dos and don'ts when wearing nude colours.

1. The power of neutral colours if that this palette of military green, brown, cream, camel and beige work well together. Don't be afraid to mix and match the different hues.

2. Don't wear bright underwear with your nudes colours as it's likely the coloured underwear will show through the flesh-coloured clothing.

3. Don't be afraid to glamourise your look by mixing textures in nude colours, such as wool and lace for a classy finish

4. Don't be afraid to go for a head-to-toe nude look...nude coloured heels and sneakers will complement your muted outfit.

5. Do spice up your look by showing bits of flesh as well. Wear a cropped top, or an off-the-shoulder dress or top for a sexy look.
