Though there is no definitive definition of the color taupe, it generally means a grayish brown with warm undertones. There is sometimes a slight rose tint, but the color is predominantly neutral, not pink. As a neutral, taupe flatters most skin colors. A well cut and styled taupe pants suit looks very professional when combined with appropriate accessories; a feminine blouse and jewelry can turn your taupe pants suit into the right choice for a casual wedding, party or date. Regardless of style, you will need to choose the right color shoes to complete your outfit. Taupe works well with many colors of shoes.
Once you have the perfect pair of shoes picked out, it’s time to decide on your hosiery. You can go several ways. With black shoes, black socks or hose create a streamlined look. For other neutral colors, trouser socks or hose in a neutral bone, taupe, tan or pale gray look professional. If you want to get a little daring, pair your taupe suit and neutral shoes with bright fuchsia, purple or cobalt blue trouser socks. For an evening look, pick hosiery with metallic threads for a touch of elegance.
