NAME: Klara @klarabellle MDS: HOW DOES MERCURY GREY MAKE YOU FEEL? KLARA: The versatility of the colour is what makes it so appealing, and so easy to style back with most pieces in your wardrobe. It's a colour that never goes out of style - like black. I feel confident that in wearing Mercury Grey to the office, on a night out or street-styled on the weekend, I'll always be on-trend. So maybe, grey is the new black? ;)
KLARA: Grey is a colour I associate with Autumn and Winter as it's a cool, moody tone. But as a lighter shade of grey, Mercury Grey is almost a pastel, which makes it wearable in any season - it just means I pair it with different colours/tones. For example, in Autumn/Winter I would style Mercury Grey with earthy, neutral tones and shades of white and black. These muted colours make the grey pop! In Spring/Summer I would style Mercury Grey with pastel colours. My fave colour pairings with grey would be baby blue, lilac and mint green. MDS: WHY DO YOU THINK GREY IS ONE OF THE ‘OFFICIAL’ COLOURS OF 2021? WHAT MAKES IT SO APPEALING? KLARA: Personally, I think grey is a classy, sophisticated colour, which reflects my personal style. I always aim for a luxe vibe to my looks, regardless of the occasion I'm dressing for, and grey helps me to achieve that. It has an air of confidence and power, which gives me the motivation to take on anything. |

SARAH: After one of the most uncertain years of my life I personally feel, like many others we were in need of some solid grounding moving into 2021. Mercury Grey has a calming tone and symbolising steadiness and resilience.
