Grey the new summer black

This summer, grey is the new black. Spotted everywhere this season, shades of grey can be worn with light, bright tones. Far from being drab, an array of titanium shades, pewter hues, even nuances of stone and concrete, are at the ready for you to create a modern and sophisticated urban look. As a chic and contemporary basic, grey goes with everything - worn in monochrome cameos or rendered dynamic by adding contrasting colours and patterns. Combined with the right colours, it can be a very soft neutral that makes one look good.

To brighten up a grey outfit, you can rely on light colours or choose: white, silver or gold, shades of beige and ivory, pastels or even fluorescent colours. When combined with yellows, concrete tones become warmer and give an impression of serenity. The grey-based floral prints presented by Luisa Cerano this season are joyful, brilliant and dynamic. Cut in a light and fresh cotton, the collection of dresses, skirts and blouses, are made for sunny days. Add a dose of colour by contrasting the print with yellow or pink for more punch.

When it comes to jewelry and accessories, black and white are a simple and always-chic combo. Go bold by combining grey and gold for a rich and modern effect that breaks with the traditional rules of fashion. Gold bracelets and earrings glam-up a grey suit, while gold sandals give a gypsy look to your grey print skirt.
A grey dress is less severe than a black one and becomes even more versatile. The grey suit can be worn everywhere: during the day; at the office, to meetings, or out to a restaurant and it can easily be worn at night with a simple change of shoes and jewelry.

Once you go grey, you never go back. Grey in all its shades will quickly become a wardrobe essential, the neutral that you can rely on all year round.
