Did you know that grey clothing symbolizes humility and plainness? That is why the colour is related with monastic life; their garments were made inexpensively using coarse and undyed dark wool. Well, it certainly doesn’t have to be as lackluster as that! Look how these stars rock-up gorgeous shades of grey – everything from charcoal to slivery hues!

Another fan of grey skinnies, Paris Hilton pairs hers with knee-length boots.

Grey and sparkles always look great together. Cheryl Cole wears a Grecian Stéphane Rolland dress.

This classic neutral colour has been said to be a fave corporate shade. However, you don’t just have to reserve your grey pieces for formal wear. Worried that the colour will make you look washed out? The key is that if you cleverly mix and match your pieces, you will look stunning!

The best thing about grey is that you can go as dressy or casual as you want. The easiest and most fun way to wear grey apparel is to mix them up with bright colours to give your outfit a pop! Try fushia, red, mustard yellow, turquoise or ultramarine blue; any accessories from shoes, belts and scarves will transform a plain grey outfit and take you from drab to fab!

Try combining your grey clothes with fun accessories and let us know how it goes!
