Neutral colors are always reliable. White, black, and gray pieces are essential in every wardrobe, no matter if you’re a minimalist or not. However, it’s always nice to step outside one’s neutral color box and explore more exciting color combos. Sure, when we don’t know what to wear reaching for something black and white is the easy way to go. But what about when it comes to your gray pieces? Neither here nor there, gray always seems to be the forgotten neutral. It always seems to end up with black and white, yet there’s no real excuse to not try your gray pieces out with some other color combinations. Gray is such an intriguing color, so you can be assured that a great outfit will come out when you decide to pair it with other colors other than black and white.

So, to prove what colors go with gray besides neutrals, we are suggesting five tried-and-true color combinations—from primary colors to some secondary colors—that will make you reconsider how you approach this neutral color. And since we know you’re all about trying everything out for yourself, we’ve also included pieces you can shop while you’re considering all your new styling options.

When it comes to sunglasses, we all have a favorite style that simply works with our face shape. Whether aviator, round, square, cat eye, rectangular or another classic silhouette, it’s almost mandatory to have a pair that goes with you wherever you go—no matter if it’s for practical or aesthetic reasons. Of course, sunglasses aren’t immune to trends. So, just like your clothing, each season there are batches that merge old silhouettes and new ones alike and take them to a whole new level.

In 2018, it was all about tiny frames. We know, shocking. You couldn’t open your Instagram feed without spotting one in the first 5 seconds. They were everywhere from your favorite celebrities to your own very closet (no need to be ashamed). However, in 2019, you might want to give them a well-needed break.

The New Year comes with a few trends that just might take you out of your sunglasses comfort zone. Spotted on the spring/summer 2019 runways (and soon to an Instagram near you), were trends that favored the bold. From futuristic shield sunglasses both sporty and classic in shape and oversized geometrical sunnies to patterned and bedazzled shades, the options are definitely the opposite from small shades. Sure, those tiny frames also came in bold colors and interesting shapes, but there’s something about a complete 180 that makes these upcoming trends even more challenging (in an alluring way).

If you want to experiment with what other shapes that go with your face and can’t wait for the sunnier days ahead, scroll on. Don’t worry though, if bigger and bolder isn’t your thing, there’s a classic shape that’s going to be in as well.

Now, if you’re not that in to trends check this pair that you’ll still wear years from now. 

Sunglasses, alongside slide sandals, basket bags, shorts, and slip-on dresses, are highly associated with summer. However, this practical and trendy accessory is one that can be worn year round. Of course, it isn’t ideal to wear them when it’s gloomy or snowy outside but instead of storing them in a forgotten drawer until warmer days, it’s always nice to keep a pair at eyes length that you know will look good with all your jackets and that you can wear when (and if) the sun decides to show up. Also, if you’re lucky enough to live in a place where temperatures stay quite warm, it’s a must that you have at least a few pairs around, just in case.

That being said, and so the weather never gets you unprepared, we’re sharing with you the best winter sunglasses we’re currently coveting, and by winter, we mean year-round. So, even though your other summer staples still need to be kept on hold, you can keep your hope for warmer days alive with these pairs. From classic frames like cat-eye and aviators to more trendy shades like oversized squared sunglasses or futuristic shield-like ones, there’s a pair for you and the 90 days that winter has. Plus, all the days that will follow.

If you still want more options, here are the coolest sunglasses, according to fashion girls.

The resurgence of ’90s fashion has resulted in a truly mixed bag of emotions. While the ’90s can be credited with providing us with now-favorable slip dresses and kitten heels, there’s also a raft of trends we’d like to keep in the past. After reaching out to the rest of the Who What Wear team, we reminisced about all the pieces we used to be so proud to own but can’t imagine ever wearing again (we think), as well as the celebrity looks we’ll happily revisit time and again.

Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now? And how much better would it be if it had tiny handles and was rendered in silk-satin (see Kate Beckinsale below)? Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school SJP and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast.

Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends, and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now.
