As we now sort out autumn / winter dress for

the looming cold weather season-

the fashion calendar is fast forward focused

on the collections being presented for Spring 2016.

The daily calendar and the fashion calendar may not be

in synchronised harmony, but that’s to be expected

as fashion is all about ‘the what’s next factor’.

 

…

As New York Fashion Week,  Spring 2016  (10 – 17 September)

comes to a close, consider a few presentation highlights.

After all, there’s nothing wrong with planning ahead!

Short trouser suiting is pure gender nonspecific fashion:

a fluid style statement, and yes-

this fluency also translates into an age – neutral sartorial flair.

Be fashion-forward savvy,

in full-on grey monochromatics as a signature look.

And the word is

Groutfit

grout’fit   (adj.)

1.  an adjective:  to describe wearing slate grey hued clothing from head to toe

(as noted in Style.com).

…

Phonetic pronunciation

Word reference:  grout-  “thin mortar used to fill cavity between tiles”

Synonyms:  cement grey,
