This outfit formula remixes a warm-toned neutral with a cool-toned neutral. The earthy toffees, tans and caramels are warmer, while their grey companions are cooler. Some outfits add other neutrals like cream, blue denim, black, chocolate, and white. If you wear stoney greys and earthy toffees, try combining them in an outfit.
Onto some inspiration.
1. Volume
A very roomy soft toffee or tan cropped sweater is combined with a pair of grey, drapey and pleated puddle length trousers. White on trend low profile sneakers add a sporty and casual touch. A grey satchel matches the grey trousers. Another soft toffee sweater is draped over the model’s shoulders.
On the right is the inverse of the look above. A cropped grey boxy and architectural funnel neck top is combined with a pair of extremely wide equally architectural toffee pants. Black boots match the model’s dark hair, the black buttons of the top, and eyewear.
2. Layered
This outfit combines five neutrals of which toffee and grey are two of them. A dark denim pencil skirt is combined with a black tucked button down shirt. A grey sweater with brown tortoiseshell buttons is layered over the black shirt. Chocolate brown flats and belt match the buttons of the cardigan. A toffee puffer tops the visible layers. Add a bag that works with the palette.
1. Columned
A column of grey is created by combining a grey jacket with a flared grey skirt. The jacket is zipped through to function like a top. Tall black boots are the wintery shoes of choice. A dark caramel jacket tops the column. Feel free to create a column of grey with any two separates or a dress/jumpsuit, and pop a toffee topper over the lot. I see a black, brown or cream bag work with the quiet palette.
A couple more columns of grey with caramel toppers that might inspire you to create a similar look.
4. Patterned
Last, a pattern in caramelized grey is an easy way to wear the palette. Here a pair of dark wide leg jeans is combined with a cream top. A toffee and grey plaid wool coat tops the pairing. Black loafers and bag match the model’s hair, and the bits of black in the pattern. Add jewellery, watch and eyewear as desired.
