There was one unexpected common thread that wove together the fashion crowds at Fashion Week shows in New York, London and Milan this year. Of course they shared a lot of predictable traits: A mutual love for Mary Janes, leather coats and all things tailoring, but an unexpected commonality that we saw emerge across the fashion capitals was a penchant for all things greige and grey.
In terms of neutral shades, beige has been a go-to for years for its warm undertone and array of styling potential but, this year, the fashion set is shaking it up, hitting an albeit temporary pause on the popular colour, and opting for a cooler tone that hosts a different range outfit potential.
Letting the cool-neutral seep into their wardrobes in a number of ways, we’ve spotted one particular item rise above the rest in popularity amongst the fashion set: the grey trench coat.
