Jacket £1290 & trousers £375 Lanvin.

Jacket £670 Dolce & Gabbana

The newest neutral this season is actually an old favourite with the boys and one that can be worn with almost any other colour of the rainbow. But for Autumn many designers chose to work grey from head right through to toe. Grey doesn't have to be just boring old grey - it can be a plethora of different shades, from charcoal through to palest dove via battleship and marl, with texture and finish an important factor.

At Burberry Prorsum military detailing gives a wool jacket a vintage airforce feel with epaulettes and bellow pockets, while at Lanvin, sharkskin-hued tailoring is kept casual with soft shoulders and sporty styling.

Dolce & Gabbana's neat sports bomber is shiny and futuristic in quilted steely satin. Now are you ready to go grey?
