Earth Tone Elegance: 5 Timeless Outfits for Bali’s Conscious Travelers

Bali Today – Ubud, July 26, 2025

By Cha-Cha

Forget fast fashion – in 2025, earth tones are rewriting Bali’s style rules. These nature-inspired hues (think warm caramels, dusty olives, and desert sands) aren’t just easy on the eyes – they’re the ultimate sartorial chameleons for island-hopping, co-working cafe sessions, and sunset cocktails. Here’s how to wear them like a Bali local.

The “From Beach Club to Co-Working Space” Uniform

(Beige + Chocolate Brown)

• For Her: Linen button-down (beige) + tailored shorts (espresso brown) + woven tote

• For Him: Stonewashed henley + relaxed chinos + minimalist leather slides

• Bali Bonus: Spills from your turmeric latte? These hues hide stains like magic

Pro Tip: Add a pop with a single turquoise ring – the only “loud” element you’ll need.

Monochrome Magic for Ubud Explorers

(All-Over Olive Green)

• Street Cred: Match a slub-knit tee with utility pants in identical olive tones

• Elevator Pitch: “I’m here for the yoga – but also the ‘gram”

• Secret Weapon: A black crossbody bag that says “I’m minimalist” (but fits three phones)

Local Insight:

“Tourists wear neon activewear. Those who live here? We speak in shades of sage and khaki.”

The “Semi-Formal But Still Bali” Hack

(Terracotta Blazer Edition)

• Dinner at The Cave: Blazer (terracotta) + silk cami (cream) + wide-leg trousers

• Digital Nomad Power Move: Swap heels for barefoot sandals (you’re still in Bali, after all)

• Why It Works: Looks expensive but costs less than two smoothie bowls at The Shady Shack

Boho-Chic for Sunday Markets

(Earthy Textures Galore)

• Layer Like a Pro: Tribal-print dress + rattan belt + suede ankle wrap sandals

• Gentleman’s Version: Loose linen shirt + drawstring pants + leather cuff bracelet

• Photography Hack: These tones make your skin glow in golden hour shots

“Winter” Layering (For When AC Hits Too Hard)

(Bali’s Version of Cold Weather)

• The Look: Knit poncho (oatmeal) + silk slip dress (mocha) + ankle boots

• His Version: Oversized cardigan + ribbed tank + tailored joggers

• Reality Check: You’ll still sweat – but at least you’ll look good doing it

Why Earth Tones Own Bali’s Scene

1. Camouflage Game Strong: Hides both coffee spills and sweat patches

2. One Palette, Infinite Combos: Mix-match all pieces effortlessly

3. Respects Local Vibes: Complements Bali’s natural landscapes perfectly

Sustainable Perk: These colors rarely go out of style – unlike that neon bintang singlet you bought as a joke (but keep wearing).
