Grey is an intermediate colour between black and white and subsequently encompasses the most powerful attributes of both. Think of it as the colour chart equivalent of a royal heir; its power is almost limitless. And when skilfully incorporated into daywear this quiet colour tone injects a strong burst of modernity into almost every look. Today we’re looking at the best ways to wear it for the weekend. 

Dress Up

Dresses are no longer associated with a singular view of femininity; in fact the trendiest styles of the season are both powerful and empowering. Opt for a dusky tone of grey across a semi-structural dress, which can multi-task from day to night. Perfect for breakfasts with friends, a light lunch or even an evening soirée. Update with a low-heeled Celine shoe in nude for Parisian elegance. 

Kitsch-Cool

Quite often the colour grey can be considered too simple, but this colour’s lightweight properties are best brightened by kitsch accessories with hints of exotic colour. Pair brightly coloured metallic leather bags or bejewelled clutches with the colour for eye-catching style. 

Suit Time

Miroslava Duma can do no wrong in a suit that is both effortlessly light in textile and colour. This slate grey needs no loud adornments , opt instead for minimalist earrings or a statement brooch by Cindy Chao. A perfectly cut suit can work from day to night with the comfort of a silk robe. Complementary items such as small leather clutch bags and dark sunglasses also work well with this silhouette.
