Grey: Let's be safe out there

I have to say, I'm a quite partial to a bit of grey in my wardrobe. It is the number one worry-not colour. It is pre-pigmented for the modern world.

What's more, it's the most inoffensive colour you can imagine. It has no pretentions, like black, not angry like red, or frustrated like purple. Or even mental like orange. No, grey is just there to get along with everyone and everything. I can't think of a single colour grey won't look good with.

That said, it's the shade of grey that counts. Never too light, you'll look like someone who had a washing machine disaster. Too dark and it looks like faded black.

Kind of mid range is just right. Grey marl t-shirts just scrape in, on account that they're t-shirts. But generally you want that shade of grey to be something between primer and elephant. In my opinion.

Like this Acronym SSJ 11 and Norse Projects scarf. These shades look all right.

I reckon two grey items at any one time is going to be your limit. In terms of a suit that's your two items right away. In this case - grey scarf and jacket - I'd liven it up a bit somehow. Battered jeans, bright trainers. That'd do it. Don't want to end up looking like a lamppost.

  2. It is definitely the easy option, but that's what makes it so good. And as Ladybird said, it's always smart!

    Thanks for the comments.
