Just because Spring has hit doesn't necessarily mean you need to head straight for yellows, blues and florals. I have to admit, I might have gotten a little carried away with my summer posts of late, so I'm taking a step back into Spring if that's ok with you.
I may be alone in this, but I love grey as a season-transcender. It's less harsh than black but not inappropriately sunny when the weather is struggling to make up its mind in the UK, with Spring characterised by blue skies, forceful winds and April showers.
Maybe we, too, like Samuel Taylor Coleridge, should find some pleasure in dimness, in the middling shade - especially at this tricky-to-style but crucial-to-fashion time of year. So this is a series of 4 posts about revelling in a seasonal inbetween-space in a veritable inbetween-shade.
Take, for example, this playsuit by Religion, £80 at ASOS. It's muted tones are the very reason it can move from season to season.
