Groutfits: Wearing Grey Shades Throughout The Seasons

By: Emmy Gnat

It’s 2016, and it is time to break free of style norms and test the limits of fashion. In comes the Groutfit- an outfit composed of only grey items; grey top, grey bottom, grey shoes, grey bag – if you’re extreme, even grey underwear. Groutfits can be sexy, chic, or sloppy. They range from being worn by soccer moms to celebrities and every blogger in between. A Groutfit is also an attitude; it is the confidence to strut down the street in multiple shades of the same colour not worrying about those who still uphold the belief that clothes need to “match”.

It is also a popular misconnection that Groutfits remain strictly in the winter wardrobe. This myth is a complete falsehood. Who says you have to wear colour for summer? Florals for spring, not original in the least. A Groutfit can be as simple or complex as you wish it to be, which is perfect for the fluctuating temperatures of spring and summer. Add a light coat to a summer dress or toss on a hat to bring some sass to your look. Do not be afraid to test the limits in a Groutfit, wear that power suit you’ve been shying away from and start to layer mixed up shades. Is this too good to be true? Take a look at some of Instagram’s most fashionable women and decide for yourself.
