The two colours

What grey and navy each bring

A signature pairing. The safe office pairing, both cool and quiet.

grey

The middle neutral: calm, professional and cool. It gives brighter colours a clean backdrop and makes an outfit look quietly competent.

Works best as: Trousers, suits and knitwear.

navy

The most versatile colour in a wardrobe: dark enough to be formal, soft enough to be casual, and it pairs with almost everything. It behaves like a neutral but has more life than black.

Works best as: Anything: suits, chinos, knits, coats, dresses.
