Gray Matter

As far as the color wheel is concerned, gray doesn't always have the warmest connotation—images of dreary weather or that sweatsuit from gym classes past tend to fill our heads at the first mention of the hue.
But hear us out, the all-gray outfit doesn’t have feel cold, boring, or the least bit shlubby. With the head-to-toe monochrome look alive and well, this might be the perfect time to embrace gray in all its many shades.
As a softer alternative, a gray getup has us considering ditching our ‘all-black-everything’ mantra this season. And for those who are color-averse, it's an easy palette cleanser that lets texture and silhouette take center stage.
Piling on pieces in numerous shades is key—the effect is cozy and sophisticated, and (even better) it's nearly impossible to screw up. Try mixing charcoal with dove gray, or pewter with slate...then just try not to roll your eyes when someone makes a ’50 Shades’ reference. To keep your look from being too one-note, be sure to focus on incorporating a variety of textures. Pair a chunky sweater with a patent-leather jacket or some wool trousers with a fuzzy sherpa.
