Jennifer Aniston can do no wrong, so when she wears something unconventional, it's worth paying close attention . Aniston recently stepped out in New York City wearing a dark gray wool Givenchy by Sarah Burton dress paired with golden Christian Louboutin heels and a rich, dark chocolate box bag. It's an unexpected mix of classic neutrals that somehow elevates the entire look from simply pretty to quite powerful.
While we'd typically pair a primarily gray ensemble with black accessories, Jennifer Aniston is proof that even the oldest outfit recipes don't have to be followed precisely. When you mix things up, you'll create something worthy of a stylish double-take. Keep scrolling to shop gray dresses and brown handbags to wear together this autumn and winter.
