The two colours

What grey and white each bring

A signature pairing. A crisp shirt against grey is the definition of smart.

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.

white

Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.

Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
