……………………..Greige is a color name that is really very hard to define or pin point, because there are so many variations. It is a mixture of beige and grey…..More beige than gray can give you an oatmeal type of color, but this Greige has more gray………so the color is more of a pale TAUPE. It has always been considered a very Chic neutral, and combined with NAVY is even more so……The obvious route would have been black, but navy is less expected….making it that much more special, and more of a designer choice…..It is a season-less color suitable for every time of year. The weight of the top is perfect for layering, and a terrific transition piece…….It is refined, and tells a lot about the taste level of the wearer…….For me, it has a sophistication that is hard to define…..and asks the question…..”Who is this woman?”…………………………..enjoy…………….much Love………………………Louis

I have so enjoyed the fog and navy leisure jacket. The color combination seems to be extremely flattering, and I look forward to repeating it.
Hi Louis
Do these pretty sweaters skim the body like your whisper knit v neck sweaters. I generally take a medium except I size down for your tanks and the swing cardigan. Does sizing run similar to your other tops.
Thanks.
This is a cut and sew fabric knit, so it may look like a sweater but it isn’t. You should go with your normal size for tops.
So chic! Good with dark denim, too.
Louis, I was leaning toward the pale blue, but this greige has captured my heart. Sweetly sophisticated! That’s what this top is. You brought me along to understand that laces and sheer fabrics, done right, wonderfully enhance the older woman. This top, however, has no “older woman” scent about it. It is very kicky. Just wanted to thank you for nudging me in the direction of discreet exposure.
p.s. So glad I finally picked up my navy pearls. That color is one-of-a-kind.
