When it comes to everyday leather items, most people favor classic black or rich brown. But what if you want to mix it up a bit? Well, then it's time to talk about taupe.

The brownish, grayish, and mushroomy color can be described in a million ways, which speaks to the nebulous hue's versatility. Whether your attire calls for a cute shoulder bag or oversize carryall, a taupe bag is a stylish way to enhance any outfit. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is in on the secret powers of taupe, as she was recently spotted in L.A. carrying The Row's Soft Margaux bag in the dreamy shade. Paired with black pants and sandals, a trench, and a mock-neck tank in a darker shade of taupe, the model's outfit demonstrates how this underrated hue works with everything.
