The Contrast in Gray

As mentioned yesterday, grays work with probably every color.  And while that is true I think that the best combinations with grays are black, because black offers the most contrast against the gray (unless that gray is a charcoal in which case there is little contrast as the gray is almost a black.

On this matching table the customer asked for help wth this pair of Gianfranco Ferre Glen Plaid Pants.

Which we paired with this Paul Smith Junior Black and Grey Sweater

For a sharp and chic look of this:

Incidentally, Richard C. (Our senior salesperson) put this pant with the Bordeux Il Gufo Sweater from yesterday's post picking up on the red detail stitching of the pant.

C'mon, we know you have something to say...let's hear it!

More About Grays (Or Greys)

Actually the dictionary has both spellings as correct, so lets not even go there.  what I wanted to illustrate here is the fact that gray is a color that can be easily used with many other colors.

Watch where we put a Grey Il Gufo Pant together with an assortment of sweaters and they all work well enough.  First off we used the navy blue pant to show some contrast with this Simonetta Argyle Sweater

Now watch as we swap Navy for Medium Grey pant:

Similar effects can be noted with the same pant and the color rich Il Gufo Sweaters (loved these sweaters this season and so did our customers!  ;-) )

Il Gufo and Moncler - an Interesting Factoid

Some of you may know Il Gufo.  Most of you know Moncler and that they make a Moncler for kids line which we carry.  Recently Il Gufo opened up a store in the United States on Madison Avenue, which you can read about here.

What you might not know is that when Italian representative from Moncler came to visit Tuesday's Child they did a walk through our store (which you can do here as well for the most part :-) ) and despite all the brands that we carry, from Armani Junior, to I Pinco Pallino to Burberry, Dolce and Gabbana Junior and Little Marc Jacobs and more, they were the most impressed by the fact that we carry Il Gufo.

Interesting?

We thought so.
