An ever-chic grey coat is one of those undercelebrated key pieces in a woman’s fashion armory. It’s one of the monochromatic tones that blend with every single colour in the style palette. No matter how adventurous you want to be, this hue will hold its own against Marni prints and Marques'Almeida frays galore. It’s not like a red coat that cries out for attention, nor is it another black coat that you end up detesting come February (how easily we attach seasonal sentiment–good and bad–to our poor threads).
