How to Stay Stylish in Grey this Winter
From the runway to street looks, L'OFFICIEL brings you a series of different "grey outfit" inspirations.
In the autumn winter of 2023, there was a strong "Maillard" craze in the fashion industry. The so-called "Maillard Style" is derived from the word "Maillard". When food produces a unique caramel or brown outer layer during the cooking process, this phenomenon is called the "Maillard Reaction". Therefore, what the fashion industry refers to as "Maillard style" is actually different shades of brown. After "Maillard", another new craze has emerged recently - "grey outfits".
Grey is a calm and versatile colour, and "grey outfits" are precisely the use of different shades of grey items to create rich layered outfits, and this trend will continue to be popular from winter to spring. L'OFFCIEL will bring you a series of "grey outfit" inspirations from runway to street photography.
Winter grey outfits
From the looks of the Prada and Max Mara 2023 autumn and winter series, we can see that the "grey outfit" in winter can be mainly coats. Pair a classic grey long velvet coat with a skirt or wide-leg pants of the same colour, and then Add a shirt or sweater to create a stylish and decent work outfit.
This Miu Miu look demonstrates how to use items of different shades and materials to create a layered "grey outfit."
Spring grey outfit
In early spring, we can put away our heavy suede coats and replace them with lighter items. For example, Prada's 2024 spring and summer grey striped suit is made of lighter material, or like Saint Laurent, pairing a dark grey see-through top with overalls is also very suitable for grey wear in spring.
In early spring, when the weather turns warm and cold, you can keep the sweater first, because you can refer to Max Mara’s style and pair a grey sweater with shorts.
As for the colour tone, you can slowly switch from dark grey in winter to light grey. Gucci pairs a dark grey half-cut skirt with a light grey thin knitted top. In addition to wearing a grey layered look, it is also a very fashionable look for early spring.
As for those who like light grey "grey outfits", you can refer to the following two looks from Tod's 2024 spring and summer series, and use different items such as jackets, handbags, shoes, etc. to bring layered variations to the look.
street demonstration
In addition to the styles of major brands on the catwalk, here we have collected "grey style" street shooting examples of fashionable girls.
