Key fashion trends of the season: Men's grey

Key trends: men's grey: Pringle of Scotland ensemble
Collar snood, from a selection, coat, £1,095, jumper, £795, and trousers, £195
Grey: so much chicer for men than black. There was plenty of it around for winter on the catwalk. The standout collection was Pringle of Scotland's rich textures, layered up in a symphony of grey. Take a look in your wardrobe - chances are you already have plenty of pieces laying dormant just waiting to be worn together. Take inspiration from these suggestions and start building your grey look today

Key trends: men's grey: Blazer
Blazer, £175
This wool single-breasted narrow-fit blazer is the last word in elegant high street tailoring. If keeping everything tonal grey makes you feel washed out, try wearing over a fine-gauge camel knit instead

Key trends: men's grey: Trench coat
Trench coat, £90
Throw this over your grey layers and finish with a tonal grey scarf and military boots (we really like the Burberry Prorsum distressed ones) and you are good to go. FYI men's trenches are to be belted neatly and not knotted

Key trends: men's grey: Blazer
Blazer, £80
Donegal tweed is a king among fabrics. This single button blazer is a great way to wear a textured grey hue. Layer over the Margiela shirt and pair with the bSTORE trousers for the ultimate take on grey

Key trends: men's grey: Cardigan
Cardigan, £60
Next menswear is starting to raise its game. This heavy knit hooded cardigan-jacket sports excellent duffle toggle fastenings for the price

Key trends: men's grey: Gilet
Gilet, £135
The gilet is our favourite revival this season. Its versatility knows no bounds. This wool and leather one works equally well over a suit or a jumper

Key trends: men's grey: Jumper
Jumper, £110
There are plenty of heavy cable knits about this winter. This one by All Saints is our favourite; a good shade of charcoal that will slip seamlessly in to your winter wardrobe

Key trends: men's grey: Jumper
Jumper, £465
We really like this hybrid cardi-cum-jumper. It looks best worn with black trousers and heavy black boots

We are big fans of Margiela menswear and we like everything about this shirt. All that is left to say is buy it!

Key trends: men's grey: Trousers
Trousers, £318
Whenever we see a piece of Thom Browne we get a little bit giddy. Perhaps knee patches aren't for everyone, but we love the slightly offbeat look to these otherwise classic herringbone tweed trousers

Key trends: men's grey: Fingerless gloves
Fingerless gloves, £6
The key to the grey trend is layering your greys. Start with the gloves and work your way up

Key trends: men's grey: Snood
Snood, £29
It's a winter essential - we haven't stopped wearing ours since the weather took a turn for the worse

Key trends: men's grey: Desert boots
Desert boots, £190
We looked high and low for some grey footwear that we liked. It was a long search, longer then expected. We have settled on these velvet desert boots. We think they add a certain je ne sais quoi to the average jeans outfit and work well for the emerging velvet trend
