Making the Graydn

Graydn Clothing

Slipping into dull work clothes has you craving a Sandy Olsson-style transformation.

(It’s time your colleagues realized that under that mild exterior is a badass — and a mighty tush, too.)

Though stilettos and satin leggings might take the fantasy a bit far, the timeless cool of Graydn’s fall collection does not. Designer Todd Magill (formerly at Wyeth) launches a sophisticated line of vintage-inspired pieces with edgy components to create a blend of naughty and nice.

A conservative silk dress paired with a gray leather bomber looks rebellious. Slim pants stand well with a fluid silk blouse. And the sexy zipper pencil skirt is infinitely wearable with a tailored shirt.

The ones that you need?

Oh, yes, indeed.
