StyleMe: 50 shades of chic — Why gray is this summer’s hottest color

Summer is synonymous with bright colors. The hues of the blue water, yellow sun and multi-colored flowers are never more vibrant than this time of year — and naturally, our wardrobes follow suit. In stores, you’re bound to see pieces in eye-catching shades like aqua, tangerine, fuchsia and marigold.

But this summer, a softer, neutral color is gaining traction — one that mixes well with your vivid summer palette. Believe it or not, gray is on the style horizon. If you really want to stand out this season, add gray suede accessories to your outfit. A gray handbag is a great choice, or you can go with a headband or open-toed sandal.

HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN INCORPORATE GRAY INTO YOUR SUMMER LOOK:

  • Head-to-toe gray — the monochromatic look is still popular and looks elegant.
  • Mix it with other soft hues like lavender and butter yellow.
  • Layer it with brilliant colors like hot pink or orange.

No matter how it finds its way into your wardrobe, gray is a sophisticated, versatile neutral that will have you looking chic all summer.
