This Anti-Spring Color Trend Is the Sneaky Key to Looking Rich
This year's biggest spring color trend? Usually, it would be delicate pastels or bright hues, both traditional signals that the weather is getting warmer and fashion people are coming out of hibernation. This year, though, the hottest trend seems to be the complete opposite: sleek, toned-down, all-gray looks.
At Who What Wear, we'll never tire of the beauty that is monochromatic dressing—and we're certainly not alone. Wearing one color head to toe is an outfit formula fashion girls have long turned to for a statement-making yet polished street style look. While we're certainly all for mixing and matching prints, a toned-down ensemble will always be refined, chic, and appropriate for all occasions—from a day at the office to a night on the town. Given the amount of all-gray looks we've seen on the runway for the last few months, both in past seasons and this current one, it's no surprise gray is the color we're all turning to.
Now, to get your wardrobe wheels turning in terms of one-tone dressing, we're focusing on the all-gray outfits that are anything but boring—just take a look for yourself.
Get the look: Opt for a gray blazer and a flowy, gray A-line skirt to mimic the Prada effect.
Get the look: If you're opting to take on this anti-spring trend while wearing something extra cozy, yet still chic, look no further than adding in a monochrome outfit composed of gray denim and a matching, slouchy turtleneck.
Get the look: All-gray doesn't have to mean all-boring. Opt for a maxi dress and cardigan in different depths for a monochrome, yet still dynamic, vibe.
Get the look: A sleek, two-piece knit set complete with a layered tee is the definition to looking extra rich when you're out doing errands or at the airport en-route to your next destination.
Get the look: This off-the-shoulder ruched top and maxi skirt just scream elegant, paired with silver accessories to keep the on-tonal look going.
Get the look: play with textures if you're going for a muted color palette. Styled above, gray looks extra interesting, especially given the shaggy fur coat and leather pants that are more akin to a model-off-duty.
