Clothing for people who love plain colours
Short answer: Plain coloured clothes are easy to combine, easy to look after and rarely out of style. When the basics share the same palette, the wardrobe gets smaller and the morning gets simpler.
Plain is a good starting point
Plain pieces have a calm about them that many come to love. They need no thought about what goes together and look smart without demanding a particular occasion. When the pieces have the same feel, you can mix them freely and have no favourites that only suit one other item. That gives a wardrobe that is easy to survey and fewer purchases.
Training clothes without pattern
For exercise it is nice to have plain pieces that can swap places, so that you are not tied to one particular set. A black or dark grey top goes with every pair of trousers and is easy to pack for the gym. See bamboo training clothes for women. Choose soft, stretchy fabrics that follow the body and survive many washes without losing shape.
A bra in a calm colour choice
A bra without underwire in a simple colour is easy to combine with many tops, especially light or thin fabrics. See bamboo bra without underwire. Skin tone and black models are the most common, because they do not show through. Check the fit now and then, as the body changes, and choose a size that leaves no marks and does not pinch at the ribs.
Underwear that keeps its colour
Plain underwear brings calm to the drawer and makes it easier to keep track of what belongs together. See bamboo underwear for women. Choose a set in a few colours so that you can wash together and avoid light items being discoloured. Sort into light and dark, and wash new pieces separately the first few times so the dye does not run.
How to keep the colours fresh
Plain clothes show wear more clearly than patterned ones, so care matters. Wash at 30 to 40 degrees, turn the pieces inside out and use a detergent for coloured clothes if the load is dark. Avoid fabric softener, which can make the fabric less breathable. If you hang the laundry in shade, you stop the sun from fading the colour. A simple tip is to take the clothes out of the machine straight away.
Variety without pattern
If you love plain colours but miss variety, you can work with shades, so that there is a soft difference between black, grey, white and sand. The structure of the fabric can also bring life, for example a smooth undershirt under a ribbed jumper. Small differences in length and fit mean that even a simple wardrobe does not become dull. Replace pieces when they are worn rather than collecting more.
Frequently asked questions
Which colours are easiest to combine
Black, grey, white, sand and navy go with almost everything and make good base colours.
Do plain clothes wear out faster
Wear shows more clearly on plain clothes, but correct care at a low temperature and inside out slows it down.
Can I wash black clothes with white
No, always sort by colour, especially the first few times, so that dark colours do not run onto light pieces.
