There’s something about a monochromatic grey look that is unbelievably sophisticated and sexy. Always a constant in the fall and winter months, grey is getting a reboot this year according to leading colour authority Pantone, which cites the shade Desert Sage, a cool and soothing greenish-gray, as “the ideal neutral across the Fall 2015 palette. Timeless and unobtrusive, yet powerful enough to make a statement on its own, Desert Sage speaks to the feeling of naturally inspired colors that remind us of things that are real and not invented.” Grey, like neutrals in general, is open to limitless interpretation. You can go menswear inspired, romantic, modern minimalistic and anything in between. Try mixing different metallics with your greys, or adding a pop of colour in the form of a hat or shoes in red, fuschia or yellow.
