Gray is a great neutral color to tone down loud and bold pieces. It’s also a nice alternative to your usual black and/or white outfits if you’re looking for something different but still neutral. However, gray is also often perceived to be a very dull, sad and lifeless color which is why many women go to all lengths to avoid wearing this color, especially on its own. The good news, though, is that you can actually wear grey, look good and make it look lively as long as you know what to wear it with and how to style it.
Reason why I picked the 'grey slayer' Stella Uzo of Jadore fashion as our style muse. Her love for grey tones reflect on most of her style and there is something about this color that does it for her all the time and will sure inspire you on how to style yours
Here are 5 totally non boring ways to wear grey:
PLAY WITH TEXTURES – texture play is a great way to make boring colors more interesting. You can create a monochromatic look using boring colors like gray and make it look chic, stylish and sophisticated if you mix and match using different textures. Like Stella, think of various textures in a single look that can really enhance and make your outfit look more lively.
MIX AND MATCH PRINTS AND PATTERNS – another easy way to create a nice and lively outfit while wearing gray is to mix and match it with different print and patterns. A cute white and black or grey and black checked stripes paired up with gray top would make a really nice and cozy fall or spring look. Feel free to pick out bolder and more unique prints to give the old boring gray color a new and unique personality.
WEAR DIFFERENT SHADES – there’s more than just 50 shades of gray; there are about a hundred in one that you can choose from and if you’re looking for a way to make gray more interesting, try wearing several different hues in one outfit to achieve a creative monochromatic look.
PAIR IT UP WITH LIVELIER COLORS – now, if you’re not into the whole monochromatic thing, you can always opt for more color instead. And speaking of more color, that’s one more way to bring gray back to life. For a minimal look, pair your grey with solid neutrals, if you love soft and feminine looks, pair up gray with pastel colors. If you’re all about crazy, colorful outfits, go ahead and anchor down your go-to color combos to your gray piece.
CHOOSE A TRENDY SILHOUETTE – since gray is already a basic and neutral color, wearing it on something just as basic and neutral can be a tad ordinary. Instead of doing this, why not wear gray on something a bit more on trend like a flimsy cami just like Stella did, or a lace up boots/shoes, structured satchels and what not? This is an easy way to upgrade gray from being basic and boring to being something totally covetable.
