Basic black is usually our favorite savvy staple for simple elegance, but in summer, bleeecch, who wants to climb into sweatbox of dark hues? Enter: La Dolce Crema. A monochrome ensemble of cream is just what Dr. Savvy ordered for a fresh, flattering and fabulously easy look.

Sporting The Look of La Dolce Crema, Savvy Style

Warmer than pure white, cream is an ultra-flattering hue on ALL skin tones so anyone can sport this look with confidence.
Break up the monochrome look with a wide belt or long, layering statement necklace in contrasting hues or metals. Brown leather, black, gold and bronze are particularly pretty with cream.
Mix up separates in different fabrics and textures to add dimension to the look.
If you feel self-conscious about your lower half, you don't have to shy away from cream. Sporting a cream top will add flattering warmth to your face and you can slim down with a dark hue on bottom.
