As winter fades into summer, neutral tan tones step forward. Less grey. Less black. A warmer palette that works harder.

Why neutrals? They go with everything. Mix brown, grey, green and black — you're on point wherever you land. Want more pop? Layer in greens and blues to switch it up.

When you're working neutral, texture and print do the heavy lifting. Fleece, velour, cotton, nylon — layer in dimension and you'll stand out without shouting.

Here's our pick of the best neutral-tone pieces, locked and loaded right here at JD.
