All About Charcoal
What is Charcoal?
A deep charcoal upper paired with a warm tobacco gum sole, Charcoal strikes the perfect balance between rugged and refined.
Think clean, neutral tones that work easily with denim, corduroy, tailoring and activewear. The subtle cream branding finish gives it a fresh, modern edge.
What’s the Colour Inspo?
Charcoal takes its cues from smoky, gritty, lived-in tones. Inspired by heritage outdoor dressing, this shade stands the test of time, offering a daily style solution that brings a strong, fashion foundation with a light-hearted energy.
Elevated and understated, Charcoal can flip from practical to playful faster than the weather can shift from sun to showers.
Here’s How We’re Wearing Charcoal
Here are some looks — and style tips — for this all-season essential.
1. With Checks and Cords for Coastal Escapes
As Charcoal is such a great basic, it’s fun to play it up with a standout statement piece. With this look, the earthy-coloured pants and cardi act as a great canvas for really having fun with outer layers and mixed textures. The bold check-print puffer jacket adds energy to this outfit, which is packed with interesting textures and print combinations.
2. With Neutrals For Your 9-5
A strong unisex option for every day, Charcoal is great when you want your office look to reflect your cool, easy energy. This outfit is all about pairing neutral tones together that work for the office or off-site. Think a relaxed chocolate pant, tonal knit and easy jacket with a cherry red beanie that brings a pop of colour to this low-fi fit.
Why Charcoal Works!
“A softer alternative to black, Charcoal offers the same versatility while feeling more relaxed, modern, and approachable,” says Chloé, our Stylist and Producer.
“Its muted tone makes it easy to pair with almost any colour, while creating a gentler contrast than black, encouraging the pairing of playful colour and texture. Perfect for the neutral dresser, Charcoal works nicely with earthy tones, denim, and textured layers too.”
3 Charcoal Styling Tips To Try
- Keep things monochromatic, chic and simple, pairing Charcoal back with all-black or all-white. With black outfits, Charcoal lightens up the energy, and with white, it grounds your look in a not-too-heavy hue.
- Charcoal lives perfectly with any denim shades, from dark to faded to ripped and distressed. With darker tones, the stitching co-ordinates perfectly, or if you’re wearing a more faded blue, Charcoal adds a refined element.
- Tap into the chameleon-like nature of this super versatile shade by teaming Charcoal Bobbi with a silk skirt or tailored suit for the office. You’ll be surprised how easily they fit into the working week as well as the weekend!
