The Gray-and-Black Outfits We're Copying From Celebs

Those who claim that the combination of grey and black is somber (or worse, boring) have obviously never seen the outfits of the most stylish celebs in action. Though eye-catching red and shimmering metallics took center stage on the streets of New York, London, Milan, and Paris this fall, there are certain tones that have the timeless qualities of everlasting style. Case in point, when gray and black are mixed properly, they have an impossibly chic effect. Celebrities, above all, have mastered this restrained color palette, providing us with ample style inspiration. If there's one item that’s essential, it's a long gray coat to throw on over anything.

Go on to see the timeless gray-and-black outfits that aren't to be underestimated.
