The two colours

What light grey and navy each bring

A signature pairing. Cool and quiet, with enough depth difference to look sharp.

light grey

A cool, pale neutral that reads calm and modern. It is softer than white and pairs easily with pastels and dark neutrals.

Works best as: Sweatshirts, knits and summer suits.

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.
