Take Christopher Bailey of Burberry, who comfortably fell into the fashion house’s favorite season. (What’s autumn without a crisp Burberry coat?) The creative director showed an elegant series of structured pieces in dusty grays and chocolaty browns. The neutral shades — occasionally punctuated by muted notes of mustard yellow, lavender, and sage — translated well into fabrics like tweed and wool. Bailey’s apparent muse of a pre–World War II party girl managed to toe the fine line between gloom and grace — think Kate Middleton on a foggy day.
Another favorite take on neutrals was Thakoon’s pre-fall line (pictured above), which lightened things up in khakis, creams, and mauvey grays. Instead of playing with colors and patterns — aside from hints of pastels and some select striped garments — designer Thakoon Panichgul experimented with multi-textured layers. Textiles like cable knit, printed wool, and Mongolian lamb went together seamlessly, accessorized simply with leather loafers in, what else, nude.
