Build a Color Palette You’ll Actually Wear: Neutrals + One Pop
Last updated: 04/09/2025
Capsule wardrobes work because they repeat a simple formula:
two neutrals + one accent. At KidWear, our accent is the fresh
#94ACFF — a calm, modern pop that pairs perfectly with
white, grey, black, navy, burgundy and light blue. Below is a quick guide to choosing colors you’ll love (and will actually pair without thinking).
1) Start with dependable neutrals
Pick 2–3 “always right” base tones. These anchor outfits and let your accent stand out.
- White — clean and versatile, the perfect base for layering.
- Grey — soft or strong, works well across all outfits.
- Black — sleek, sharp, timeless, goes with everything.
- Navy — deep and refined, softer alternative to black.
- Burgundy — rich and warm, adds depth without overpowering.
- Light Blue — fresh and subtle, perfect for a calm accent.
2) Add one accent (ours: #94ACFF)
An accent is your personality layer. Use it in a print, a logo hit, or
a small accessory (hat, tote, case). Keep it to 1–2 items per outfit for balance.
With black, it feels bold and street-ready.
3) Copy & paste these outfit formulas
Daily uniform
Base: White tee · Layer: Grey hoodie ·
Accent: #94ACFF cap or tote
Creative casual
Base: Burgundy tee · Layer: Navy sweatshirt ·
Accent: Graphic print in #94ACFF
Weekend comfort
Base: Light blue tee · Layer: Black hoodie ·
Accent: Bottle or case detail in #94ACFF
4) Patterns & prints that still match
- One statement at a time. If the hoodie has a bold graphic, keep the tee minimal.
- Echo the accent. A small print hit in #94ACFF ties the look together without shouting.
- Texture counts. Fleece, jersey and canvas add depth even in solid colors.
5) Build your capsule the smart way
- Pick 2–3 neutrals you already wear the most.
- Choose one accent you’re excited to repeat (hint: #94ACFF 😉).
- Grab 4–6 tops (tees/sweats), 1–2 layers (hoodies), and 2 accessories (hat/tote/case).
- Mix base · layer · accent all week—done.
Build your two neutrals + one accent capsule in minutes.
