Gear up for Fall, And It Need not be Gray

(View full size image here)

Gray is a beautiful, sophisticated colour and is flattering for any skin tone. But one need not be decked head to toe in gray, which I am seeing too much this fall winter on runways and the real life. Smart gray coats and jackets can be livened up with bright reddish brown fox fur, unique shapes and cuttings such as my favourite boxy menswear inspired Shogun sleeve style. At the Gaetano Navarra Fall Winter 2009-10 collection, waxy and shiny textured windbreaker coats, oversized knits and braids sweaters with grape-like detailing, beautiful Victorian shirts that resembled folds of huge flower petals, glittery dandelion print skirts which look like dancing fireworks from afar and skinny tailored pants ruled the runway.
