For a few years, the most expensive-looking thing you could wear was nothing in particular. A camel coat with no visible logo. A grey knit that only revealed its price when you touched it. “Quiet luxury” turned restraint into a status symbol, and for a while it seemed every high-street rail was a sea of oatmeal, ecru and stone.

Trends that are built on a single idea tend to exhaust themselves quickly, and this one was no exception. Once a look can be copied cheaply, it stops signalling anything — and beige is very easy to copy.
