- 0 comments

If your closet looks like it was sponsored by beige, black, and navy—this one’s for you.

In the latest episode of Midlife Moxie, we’re tackling the topic that too many women avoid: Are you defaulting to neutrals because you love them… or because you’re afraid of color?

Spoiler alert: Neutrals aren’t the problem—it’s how you wear them.

Why Neutrals Matter—But Only the Right Ones

Wearing neutrals isn’t boring. Wearing the wrong neutrals in the wrong way? That’s a missed opportunity.

You don’t need every neutral. You need your best light and dark neutral—and we’ll help you find it.

Final Thoughts from Jen & Gail

Neutrals can be powerful, polished, and incredibly stylish when done right. But they’re not a substitute for thoughtfulness. Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe, dressing for summer travel, or just trying to get out of a style rut—start with better basics in YOUR best colors.

And if you’re not sure what those are? That’s what we’re here for.

🖤 Stay neutral—but never invisible.
