Expert Opinions

Bloggers are solidifying the gray-on-gray trend in the introduction cycle. After searching through the last year of posts on 26 different menswear blogs, I found a total of four entries that demonstrated gray-on-gray ensembles. 

• Hypebeast
• HighSnobiety
• Selecticism
• Contemporary Standard
• Inventory
• The Hundreds
• A Continuous Lean
• Gwarizm
• Style Girlfriend
• Mr Porter
• The GQ Eye
• Secret Forts
• The Style Blogger
• Tres Bien
• Put This On
• Kempt
• Wax Wane
• Upscale Hype
• Gilt Manual
• Esquire's Style Blog
• Well-Spent
• The House of Majd
• Valet
• Die, Workwear!
• Four Pins
• Inquiring Minds

The result was 3 entries from The House of Majd, and one entry from The Style Blogger. 

Menswear blogging powerhouse, The Style Blogger, recently posted about monochromatic outfits. As you can see, the editorial features Steven Santander decked out in a gray suit, hat, gloves, and gray monk straps. The main idea behind the monochromatic outfit is that a pop of color needs to be added which Steven successfully does.

Steven Santander:

“This grey outfit acts as a blank canvas for the poncho which is full of color”. 

“As much as I love color, a good monochromatic outfit can do wonders”.

Sadly, even these three photos from The House of Majd do not address the gray-on-gray trend, but are editorials featuring specific pieces within each outfit, and the outfits just happen to be gray as a whole.
