Stay Classy... With 90s Shades Of Grey

Karl Lagerfeld did not disappoint with his Chanel Couture 2015 show, closing a week of Haute Couture held at the Grand Palais in Paris this week. A breath-taking display of bright white designs and decadent detailing, was mixed with tousled fringes, ribbon shoes and modern cuts for couture collection that was fresh, young and uplifting.

Tones of grey reminiscent of the early 1990s played a big part in Karl’s collection and also featured heavily in Armani’s Autumn Winter 2014 show. Grey is a huge trend for this season and at it’s best when tailored, either loosely or for full on power dressing, which is having a huge come back this year. Think Working Girl, 90s Supermodel and all-round force of sophistication.

With so many shades, grey can always be flattering and mixed with a stiletto heel and set off with red lips and gold stud earrings, will guarantee a classic look. If you don’t want to wear the whole suit, go for a grey skirt, with a white shirt or cami, black heels and red lips for a laid back approach to 90s chic.

White Cami, Grey Blazer, Gold Earrings, Grey Checked Suit, All Topshop: Black Heels, Kurt Geiger: Grey Skirt, Harvey Nichols: Red Clutch, Charlotte Olympia: White Shirt, H&M.

Celebrities such as Emma Stone, Poppy Delevingne and Emma Watson have already discovered this shade, which happens to be one of my favourites and of course Kate Moss is a huge fan of this hue too.  I picked out a few pieces from the high-street to get you started.

Gorgeous Gemma Arterton Gives Lessons In Wearing Red

Mixing Monochrome With Red Accessories
At Pandora's #MyRingMyStyle Launch

Red, heavily featured in the 2014 shows and ready to set the fashion world alight as one of next season's top trends, it's the colour that screams classic style and sophistication, when worn right. 
As with a carefully crafted Rothko or Mondrian, when it comes to red it's all about the balance. Cue Gemma Arterton, the naturally beautiful actress with a knack for looking chic. At the Pandora #MyRingMyStyle launch she set off a monochrome outfit perfectly with simple scarlet accessories, then yesterday went head–to–toe–red at the Serpentine Gallery Summer party, looking utterly divine on both occasions.

Outfit one is a collaboration of must-have style staples, (particularly for this season when monochrome is a big trend too) teaming a classic black shirt and structured white skirt with fabulous crimson stilettos and clutch. Eye-catching red accessories are the perfect way to wear this trend if 'lady in red' isn't your mood du jour and if it is, then take heed of outfit number two – Ms. Arterton stood out for all the right reasons at the Serpentine's annual event in Hyde Park, wearing a gorgeous red Prabal Gurung Resort 2015 co-ord and matching silk shoes. She finished the super glamorous look off with crystal drop earrings, a sweeping blow-dry and Prabal Gurung himself!
