It looks so much better than black on me -&nbsp;so long as it's a warm grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1418135 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 04:45:50 +0000 Deborah 1418135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! &nbsp;I adore grey in all shades, but find the lighter shades much more flattering on me:) &nbsp;It's a lovely neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417942 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:20:43 +0000 texstyle 1417942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a weakness for charcoal gray myself - and blue-grays. Love the coat and bag!&nbsp; I think it's just a combined matter of personal preference along with coloring of your skin tone, hair, etc. Some days I feel like wearing gray makes my hair look more gray (and I'm sure it IS becoming more gray since I no longer highlight or color it), but it is still a favorite neutral for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417828 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 19:10:49 +0000 shiny 1417828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I can see why gray would not be your best. I think it's because you look best in shades that are clear, rather than murky. Like your trademark tomato red, green apple specs, citron. All those are clear colors. So is ink. At least to my eye, but I can be color challenged!</p> <p>I also have embraced gray big time this year. In prior years I embraced light gray (worn with silver and white)&nbsp;and loved that, but then overdosed on it. &nbsp;Now I'm loving medium shades of gray with gold accents. That combo looks fresh to my eye. I am, however, still grabbing my light grey &amp; white scarf -- I guess probably because&nbsp;it does lighten up an otherwise dark outfit. I'm actually wearing that scarf more frequently than ever, though I bought it back in my light grey phase.&nbsp;</p> <p>I lost my new grey hat sometime last weekend. So sad. :-(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417718 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 14:32:14 +0000 Windchime 1417718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice outfit; I like your bag very much!</p> <p>Gray is one of my neutrals, too, along with black, navy, and most recently, white. I'm a winter, and several shades of grey are part of that palette. I don't like my outfits to contain too much dark grey, though, or all grey and black--it's too dreary, especially in winter. I especially like wearing silvery greys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417712 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 13:58:04 +0000 Staysfit 1417712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have purchased a fair amount of gray, but I made a promise to myself not to buy more. I like it for a few essential pieces, like jeans, or sweater when I know I will also add a colorful scarf. I also wear gray eye shadow. It makes my green eyes look turquoise for some reason. The same happens if I wear the correct shade of gray, but that doesn't show up well in a photograph. (At least not my Samsung selfies!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417645 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 04:27:58 +0000 unfrumped 1417645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm becoming a gray lover but need to remember not to go overboard/ need to combine with warm rich neutrals and with fun colors.</p> <p>My " best" grays are getting lighter, I think- LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417588 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 02:14:39 +0000 Ginkgo 1417588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another gray lover here -- it goes well with other neutrals and I feel I actually look healthier wearing it, somehow the contrast gives some color in my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417582 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 01:59:58 +0000 Anonymous 1417582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurie, for me your greys work well together, especially as there are different textures going on. I love wearing grey and how it adds sophistication to brights like citron and coral. It is so lean with white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417581 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 01:57:54 +0000 Helena 1417581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very chic ... I love this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417567 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 00:51:55 +0000 Dimity 1417567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so tired of grey after wearing it as my school uniform for years. Now, though, I'm loving it! Amazing what thirty years will do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417187 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:08:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1417187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HUGE lover of gray here! But I will say that I never wore it until I let my hair go its natural salt-n-pepper. It didn't suit my coloring before that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417184 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:05:59 +0000 shedev 1417184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same reaction when I read Angie's post.I &nbsp;used to feel the same way but then I realized that grey looks great with the navys and deep reds in my closet. For me it doesn't replace black, just gives me another option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417175 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:52:44 +0000 Laurie 1417175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I completely understood your comment re gray&nbsp;for yourself - and, the shades of gray (all 50?) definitely matter a great deal too. &nbsp;Charcoal/darker is my favorite side of the color.<br />Your comment made me smile because it expressed the essence of fashion - &nbsp;there is no right color, no one way to wear something and one person's delight is another's poison eye. &nbsp; &nbsp;I didn't go looking for gray this year, it came and found me. &nbsp;Now, what's in my hair? &nbsp;Another story!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417174 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:51:55 +0000 DonnaF 1417174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, have embraced gray along with my graying hair and am trying to avoid black.&nbsp; I'm trying to steer DD away from black as a default and even more away from most grays as I think her skin tone is too warm for either to look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417162 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:22:33 +0000 deb 1417162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved all shades of grey this year. I will sit on your bench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417156 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:11:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1417156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Laurie! I really like how the coat, purse, and boots complement each other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417151 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:02:00 +0000 thimblelina 1417151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love gray too. And it's getting easier &amp; easier to wear as my hair grays. The right grays with a green accent make my green eye color pop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417130 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:15:23 +0000 Angie 1417130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love grey on others, like you Laurie, Suz, Diane G, Shannon, Debs, Joy, Client Karen&nbsp;and others.&nbsp;Greg looks AMAZING in shades of dark grey. It picks up the shades in his salt and pepper hair and brings out his big bright blue eyes. So to be clear, I love grey on those who wear it well. It made my own worst list as a colour because I don’t enjoy wearing it, and it looks quite grim. Hope that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417127 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:03:32 +0000 qfbrenda 1417127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your grays look fantastic!</p> <p>I love gray as well! I'm trying to not overdo it because with a lot of gray/silver/white hair on my head, it can become too much pretty quickly. And I can't do light gray or I look washed out. But charcoal? I'm in love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417126 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:03:06 +0000 Marlene 1417126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finding gray is my new black as well. &nbsp;And when I find just the right shade of gray then I am doing a happy dance. &nbsp;I am currently purging all the dreary grays that have a lot of green tones. &nbsp;I find that gray just works for everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417124 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:59:35 +0000 Suz 1417124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Laurie! I've embraced grey, too. I know it can look horrid on some people and I certainly understand how it might feel dispiriting, especially in a climate with a lot of grey skies. But for me, it's softer than black and I love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gray#post-1417117 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:47:31 +0000 Laurie 1417117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to laugh when I read Angie's 2014 wrap up this morning and she expressed dismay about the color gray (or grey) for herself&nbsp;because&nbsp;I have <i>embraced</i> this color&nbsp;this year! &nbsp;</p> <p>I already posted a pic from this day in Annapolis in the TopShop coat from NAS, but a full length shot appeared from Danny's camera&nbsp;that shows my gray Furla satchel (even my fab bargain find at BR last month&nbsp;was still too taupe-y) and my grey Clarks boots.&nbsp;<br />I will brighten all of these pieces up in 2015 with colorful accessories and lighter neutrals, but gray is definitely my new black -- feels softer than black&nbsp;for me right now.</p>
