Grey: it’s a only short word, and you might not have much to say about it. We say that you should think again – whether you want soft and pale, to make a statement, or to play with textures and patterns, it’s all here, and it’s trending for winter 2014.
Blend layers of grey, and you’ll be surprised by its depth and diversity. There’s charcoal, marl, silver, pepper or granite, and then there’s mottled, flecked or pinstripes. Mismatch as Stella McCartney did, and you’ll bring out its best qualities. As well as layering your outfit, contrast collars and cuffs for a harder edge.
Yes, we can state categorically that grey on grey is having a moment, and this is nowhere more apparent than in knitwear. Wrap yourself in cashmere, or party in a draped jersey dress by Isabel Marant. Team a slouchy sweater with a full skirt, like those floating around at Dries Van Noten. Alternatively, pull it over a midi or a pinstriped pencil, and complement with brown boots. And if Jennifer Aniston dons a grey bouclé dress, and it’s by Dolce & Gabbana, we’ll go with that.
Team a mottled sweater with a black leather mini – Alexa Chung will show you how. Olivia Palermo plumped for a waist-cinched shirt dress, while Cat Deeley threw an embellished leather jacket over pale jeans and tee. Heidi Klum matched her maxi dress with a long scarf, but you could go for a dark ribbed version on a pale coat, or a turtle-necked knit.
Bright shades or pastels are stunning with grey, but they could swamp the subtleties of this surprisingly warm colour, so stick with the discipline of close relatives, to complement rather than compete. We’ve already mentioned black, but a white tee under a pale sweater will soften the whole. Team trousers of the same with a grey coat, or break the monopoly of head-to-toe sameness with white sneakers. Similarly, accessorise this trend with black in oversized bags, embellished clutches, and cut-out boots, and top with sunglasses plus a dark fedora.
Break out in keyhole fabric or its more delicate version, lace, for a lighter touch, perfect with a pop of silver in the party season, but take care – you may get to like your monochromatic self so much that you’ll be permanently hooked.
