Don't mention gray and rush to say "not for my skin tone". How many kinds of gray, let's first count together:
Dark grey
Light gray
Luma Grothe
There are brownish shades in gray
Gray is a cooler hue
Dylan Lim Suarez
Whitening lime
Silver ash due to the material
And also......
There is a gray color called "Greige", which was patented by Giorgio Armani. Armani has been very successful in blending brown and grey to create his signature warm grey.
Life be like
The gray "Greige" is highly harmonious with beige in the home
Many luxury houses in Hollywood will use this color scheme, which is also in the category of "luxury", but it is very calm.
In the world of color, there are many changes in the difference in color value, and this truth should not be difficult for women to understand, because - women buy lipstick, the same is big red, how many different big red everyone understands. The same goes for gray!
Claudia Schiffer
Gray has a naturally calm, noble feeling, and because of this, the people who can "use it properly" are a minority. So, buying gray clothes we really recommend that you try it yourself, of course, there is a simpler way - buy a trusted brand of gray tone items, if you match the style of a certain brand, then it is often the kind of gray you like.
For example, giorgio Armani we mentioned above
Giorgio Armani Spring 2022
For example, I like Brunello Cucinelli, whose home is well known for luxury cashmere products, but in fact, if you really understand this brand, you will find that it is not only the material that really makes people feel "luxurious", but also the products of its home because of some firm ideas, and these ideas are the real luxury parts of the current society.
Brunello Cucinelli Spring 2022
Because of the recognition of its concept, so its products can bring some deep resonance, perhaps because of this resonance, this brand of gray, regardless of shades, is exactly what I imagined, the ideal gray.
This is the higher pursuit of consumption - a kind of recognition and trust, and it is also what everyone needs more than "buying, buying and buying" now.
Gray is a cool color, Asian skin is mostly warm colors, saying "gray is not suitable for Asians", mainly because this color is dark, cold, and yellow in the skin color "biting color", but this is only a general judgment in a wide range, does not mean that gray can not be touched, absolutely avoided.
Because to tell the truth, if it is yellow and black leather, most of the cool color colors are not suitable, then is it possible to wear clothes for a lifetime in the choice of so poor colors? Of course not, if you get more collocation ideas, or learn some tips, won't you choose more colors?
Adults, who wouldn't like it, have more options.
The editor liked the gray because Kate Moss saw too many street shots, and her gray LOOKS seemed to be set with gold and nailed directly to the brain with iron nails.
Even in that era, in the mind directly european and American van = gray.
Later, I looked at more of her street photos, and found that Kate Moss was only selected to wear light gray and slate gray, and this group of photos with Depp was so beautiful that it was aphasian, just the right aesthetic of the 90s - a little too much, less than a little bit of simple beauty, with Kate Moss's body that did not have any extra flesh (and the exquisite frog mouth bag), gray This restrained but not heavy color, interprets the most appropriate at this moment.
Having laid so much groundwork, has it made you change your mind a little bit about gray? Next, we will use street photography to show you how to build gray:
(It's not that we don't want to use domestic street photographs and pictures from a book to give you a demonstration, but that the copyright dispute over the picture really gives us a headache.) And even if they are all yellow skin, in the matter of color matching, everyone can only refer to it more than practice, because a color is not suitable for themselves, other people's demonstrations are useless, you have to wear it on your body and look in the mirror to know. ）
From the color axis, we can find that any color that reduces the saturation can get gray.
Let me give you an example
If you wear green every day to look the best, then follow the green that suits you best, gradually reduce the saturation, and you will find the most suitable gray-green for yourself.
Yellow-skinned people have some very suitable for wearing olive green, like the above Yoyo Cao this dress, that is, olive green after the desaturation of the gray green, not as ugly as imagined, right?
Needless to say, the blue-gray of the blueish tone, or the positive gray that directly adds white in the black, and the cold of the skin tone can piece together a very ethereal temperament, which is a color that can bring people a "sense of distance".
Looking back at the color spectrum above, gray is a color with very low attack power (because the brightness with attack power has been reduced). Because of this, adding texture to gray will not have such a strong style hint, and for people who do not like texture very much, gray is an introductory attempt.
Like what:
The gray stranded sweater will not be so retro, and pairing it with a pair of light blue jeans can also look simple~
The gray check is not as "British" as the brown check, even if it is matched with a "well-behaved girl" bow shirt, it will not look like a school uniform, but it is very professional.
Coats with clear lines like this, it is easy to look old-fashioned in other colors, but obviously the possibility of gray is more, such as wearing a baseball cap can also be young and street.
In addition to the stripes looking "formal", gray can also make it have both "retro" and "urban" expressions.

In addition to the texture and pattern, the influence of the material on the gray is also very large, it can be said: the gray is like an actor with a wide range of plays, what material and it "play", it can perform different plays.
For example, the same knee-length coat, furry tweed and leather, is the difference between the earth and the mechanical hime
The same knitwear, the tight stitches look very similar to the stiff wool, but the softer one is particularly "intellectual" (and gray is more like a female writer would wear than other colors).
The same round neck style, the same on the shoulder of the wearing, the mink texture looks more "arrogant", but the overall atmosphere is still within the scope of "simple style".
This demonstration is more intuitive, basically exactly the same gray, but the suit fabric and the sports sweatshirt fabric have completely opposite style attributes. btw, this is also a good collocation idea, other colors can also be copied up.
Don't be upset to put it back on the shelf, there are no colors you can't wear, only collocation methods you haven't mastered yet.
Marta Cygan
For example, asians rarely manage this charcoal gray (because it is darker and easier to darken the skin tone), the solution is to expose as much skin as possible, bring a sense of color rhythm with the skin, and let the skin tone "dominate" (especially near your face).
Or, adjust the charcoal gray to the color of the bottoms, with a light gray that raises the skin tone more.
There are also some people who will look "dull" even if they wear light gray, and it is necessary to remember at this time - make good use of white items as reflectors
The white inner layer is the presence of a "facial reflector", which is especially useful in autumn and winter!! White and gray can also form a "progressive color" feeling, visually looking more harmonious.
This shape I would like to call "OL color ceiling", basically the color that the class loves to wear is included, and the small man of Yoyo 150+ is not awkward to control, which shows that the compatibility between these colors is extremely high.
A little experience of the editor is that before finding your own "life gray", you have a higher rate of buying a gray coat. While the price may be more expensive, it is more cost-effective than buying a gray knitwear.
These two colors may break the rules slightly, but we are happy to see these "out of line" collocations in our daily lives, because this shows the richness of our aesthetics.
Oh, don't forget [silver gray], when you feel that you are wearing gray pieces so bad, use silver to embellish it, there must always be stars in the dark night, this night is charming!
In the end, the position of the finale is left to "a gray body", is there anyone like the editor? I know that wearing gray is not as good as wearing other colors, but I still have an obsession with it, and I like to wear gray from head to toe?
If so, then you are the same as the editor [gray heavy enthusiast]. Gray originally has the subtext of "keeping a distance", and a whole body of gray is even more so, and gray has a strong sense of professionalism, and it is not as solemn as black, nor is it as squeamish as white.
Some people describe gray as a kind of "lightweight fashion", even if it is worn all over, it can make people feel a light posture. However, to avoid wearing a walking stainless steel plate, the key is to pay attention to the shade of gray or material to make a distinction, which is the most important thing to look thin when wearing a gray body!

A whole body of high-grade gray is talking about this look! Because the gray itself is low-key, you can use some ingenuity in the design, there is a feeling of "four or two strokes of a thousand pounds" ~ a small design that seems to be inadvertent, so that your gray top has a special temperament.

Winter like this long and wide scarf, warmth is one of them, more importantly, because its sense of volume is enough, so it can highlight the texture you want, just simply put on a black turtleneck, the overall look is also very "expensive".
100% cashmere also has good and bad points, this cashmere scarf uses Albas cashmere, comb twice, select a fineness of 14.5 microns, a length of 36 mm ultra-fine first-class velvet, what is the role of this? The texture is more delicate, the warmth is better, there are many colors to choose, this light gray has a little warm gray meaning, even if it is a yellowish skin tone, it can also set off a good color.
Some colors can become classics because there is a group of women who can always find resonance in it and are loyal to their inner feelings and external choices. For example, gray is introverted, low-key, and unfazed. What about you? Is this such a woman?
