When wearing a cream sweater, it’s a smart idea to brighten up your outfit with a bold pop of colour. This is because cream can wash you out, especially when paired with other neutral colours like khaki or beige. Instead, take this opportunity to really make an impact with a bright pink skirt or a pair of red shorts.

A soft blue tulle skirt is super versatile. Headed to a wedding? Pair this with a dressy blouse. Going to brunch? A tank top and flats will make this feel more dressed down. Meeting your hubby for a dinner date? Team this with dainty gold jewellery for a feminine and timeless look.
Where most tulle skirts feel too prim and princess-y, this one steers clear of that thanks to the earthy green colour. Combine it with a cargo jacket for an unexpected twist and finish off with white sneakers.
Strike a sweet look up with a soft pink skirt, which you can pair with a grey top and rose gold jewellery.

If you’re not a fan of bold stripes, try on this top instead. The stripes are in a muted grey colour, so it doesn’t stand out too much.
On the other hand, if colour is your thing, then this bold top will tick all the right boxes for you. Pair it with blue skinny jeans and a pair of cool brown boots for a super-chic weekend look.
The lace inserts on the sleeves definitely help to soften your look, so avoid playing the rest of your outfit in a feminine direction or you might risk looking old. Instead, pair it with cooler separates like distressed jeans and statement jewellery for a punchy finish.
