Some things should be viewed in black and white (adultery, drunk driving, Casablanca).

Other situations call for shades of gray.

Clothing label Kaufmanfranco’s got you covered in both cases. The winter collection includes not only a plethora of edgy, all-black outfits, but also versatile gray suits, dresses, and jackets.

Begin at the darker side of the spectrum with belted taffeta frocks, trouser parachute skirts, and python straight skirts. Like many of the pieces, the sheer and drapey tuxedo shirt can be dressed up or down.

On the opposite end, there’s an oversize lapel jacket in stark white. But those inclined toward the middle will love the silver wool stretch jacket with a matching cinched skirt. And the heather kimono wrap jacket easily softens any look.

A few pieces from the collection may just change the way you look at things.

At the very least, you’ll be seeing your wardrobe through rose-colored glasses.

Available at Forty Five Ten, 4510 McKinney Avenue, at Knox Street and Henderson Avenue (214-559-4510). To see styles, go to kaufmanfranco.com.
