The Neutrals Parade is a minimalist's dream, complete with less wardrobe staples like loose linen pants, flowing skirts, and oversized outerwear. at the same time layering and cutting to hide and reveal the body. There have been hints of a nature theme in the abstract prints and beaded shells inspired by palm leaves.
