Grey or gray? Providing a framework for colour

Tuesday, 13 December 2011

One day, if this blog ever had any more readers than Grey Fox himself and his nearest and dearest, the question will be asked by a reader from across the Pond whether Grey Fox can spell.  Firstly, I would welcome any such readers.  I would then say that grey is how we spell the word over here in the Old Country, so I am sticking with it.

But grey is a very useful colour for a man seeking fashion and style in middle age.  It goes with, and provides a framework for, brighter colours.  Traditionally we wear a grey suit and coloured shirt, rather than vice versa, and this traditional approach is one I favour to feel comfortable.

I love grey tweed.  As a classic it can be worn at any age; we cannot see the age of the men wearing these jackets, but the effect is the same whatever the age of the wearer - calm good taste.
