Gray but not cloudy

Classically thought to be formal and serious when used in clothing, the color gray can actually enhance bolder pieces to create unexpected but surprisingly natural combinations.

No matter the accompanying non-gray garments that are used, gray is capable of toning down the elegant and giving glamour to the casual. Plus, with shiny finishes, it can become the ultimate sophistication factor. Gray might not be the first obvious choice when seeking to complement a vivid palette, but being the offspring of black and white, it just has it in its genes.
