TREND ALERT- Grey is the new Black


Autumn and winter are always about neutrals but this season GREY taking centre stage.

Grey seems to bring out the best in woollen and knitted fabrics because in production there is a slight variation in the dying and as a result the garment is more luxurious and softer to touch.

Try mixing your neutral palette teaming grey with creams, beige, camel and taupe for a on trend look. Or you can even take your look to a more contemporary place by mixing different shades of grey with black or even black & white stripes.

My picks to invest in this season are oversize jumpers, mid calf cardigans, and this seasons must have the grey jumper dress.

Any of these pieces will look so on trend over black or patterned leggings, or dark denim slim fit jeans and for the finishing touches accessories with Indian inspired turquoise jewellery.

Lastly a point to remember when wearing grey, you want to wear slightly more dramatic make-up to balance up the look, smoky eyes with a nude lip are a nice balance and allow you to easily transform your look from day to night.
