Fall 2010 Fashion Trends: Shades of elegant gray for both day & night

Tags: Dresses | Fall 2010 | Fashion at Work | Jackets | Knitwear | Office Trends

Color trends are always enjoyable to profile as you can find any number of terrific new styles to suit your own shape - all you need to do is make sure you choose the right color! And nothing says Fall 2010 more than gray..

If you're looking to spruce up your office wardrobe, pick up an elegant gray wool dress (printed or solid, pencil shape or pleats) or how about gray suiting? An elegant gray blazer can be worn at the office but also paired with skinny jeans for a night out - just add some sparkle by way of statement pumps and fabulous jewelry.

For proper evening wear, your gray should be shimmery with draping (Halston Heritage One Shoulder Dress with Sequin Epaulet), or structured and satin, like the Preen Line Stevie silk dress below.

Celebrities took to this one right away - Zoe Saldana wowed in Herve Leger Fall 2010 at Bing's Celebration of Creative Minds After-Party on June 22nd, Halle Berry looked amazing in her draped Vera Wang at 4th Annual Gala 'Linked Against Leukemia' at Cipriani in April, and back in March, Keira Knightley went for a classic coat from Burberry Fall 2010 at The Laurence Olivier Awards nominees luncheon.
