This season’s neutral color is a noble response to basic black. Chic and cool-headed, it’s the perfect tone for office or cocktails. Say hello to gray — like you’ve never quite seen it before.

For a daytime ensemble, opt for a cashmere sweater paired with light-wash gray denim. Heading out? Complete the look with a leather moto jacket. For the office, go with a gray shift dress or tweed blazer and suede booties. Gray works with everything and pairs brilliantly with silver, gold and diamonds.
