Matchy matchy just got cool


Yes, they were perilously high, but Hayrünnisa Gül, First Lady of Turkey, may just be onto something with the grey shoe-boots she wore to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen on Wednesday. Let's overlook that lap dancer-style platforms and zone in on that strikingly delicate shade of dove grey (were they made in Turkey?) and the way it perfectly accords with her grey dress.Now that nude shoes have become the default footwear of Wags, the matchy-matchy approach may be the most flattering, leg-elongating option currently open to us. Admittedly, until this minute, head-to-toe colour was seen as a bit of a Wag fetish, too. But fashion is nothing if not a bold and brave assault on preconceptions (that's my excuse anyway) and, next spring, Mulberry, Carven, Christian Dior and DKNY are all championing this प्रेविऔस्ल्य.
