Flash FASHION UPDATE
Challenge your grey matter

 
The hottest colour this autumn is going to be grey but all those who love to dive into colour need not worry. Grey may be in but so are exciting ways to glamorize it. It needn't be boring. The key to grey dressing is experimentation and the first step is to mix fabrics fearlessly. Chiffon works well with satin silk or even velvet. Something as simple as a velvet trimming can add a third dimension to your shirt. Blow on the silver sequins and swarovskis if you're partying and if you're a grunge dresser, then metal studs and zips will give you the punch you're looking for. Combine different grey tones or add a flash of patent (even leather) to energize your look. As winter sets in, cashmere shawls can also be bought in shades of anthracite instead of the customary beige and ecrus and those of you who go straight for the woollies will find the softest shades of dove grey desirable. Accessories are also taking on the tint of granite and pewter so replace everything gold with everything silver and metallic. Animal skin bags and shoes are going grey too and picking up a pair of those pewter stilettos will become essential.
