Feel Empowered In This Season’s Chicest Tailoring
The autumn/winter catwalks were a showcase of contemporary suiting. As a result, blazers, sleek trousers and beautifully cut coats are in high demand, especially in one particular colour. So if you’re looking to smarten up, get ready to embrace the latest grey tailoring.
While I’ve shared AW24’s hottest shades – burgundy, khaki and brown, if you’re wondering – when it comes to suiting up, the colour of choice has to be grey. Clearly it featured heavily on the runways, namely at Alberta Ferretti, Miu Miu and Prada. Follow that with a slew of grey-clad influencers and a trend was cemented in place for the season. Now arguably, a grey blazer is a classic, rather than a passing fad, but that’s the appeal. We can invest in a look of the moment without it looking dated within a matter of weeks.
Plus, when you look to the likes of Reiss, Massimo Dutti and Cos, you’ll discover grey suits that look sleek, modern and powerful. Go top-to-toe grey for the full impact; add the waistcoat and the coat. Don’t hold back. Bring an accent into your look via the accessories… burgundy will always work. But ultimately, this pared-back situation is not just on point, it’s promotion-worthy dressing.
Alternatively, you can use grey tailoring in a much more laid-back way. Simply pair a blazer with barrel jeans or tailored trousers with a t-shirt or cardi. Even just an element of tailoring is enough to elevate any outfit. So if you’re not after the total colour drench, read on to pick the perfect piece just for you. Whether that’s the pinstripe blazer from Jigsaw or Me + Em’s sports-inspired trousers, sartorial perfection awaits.
Grey blazers
A grey blazer is an instant outfit upgrade. It’s smart, elegant and actually, incredibly sexy.
Grey waistcoats
The waistcoat not only completes a suit, it’s also total perfection when worn on its own.
Grey trousers
Cool with trainers; sophisticated with heels, grey trousers are the new black trousers.
Grey coats
Modern, yet timeless, the grey coat is not just for now, it’s an investment for seasons to follow.
