Street Style: Toronto Fashion Week attendees blend in with neutral looks

It’s been a drizzly few days at the tents so far, providing a perfectly dreary backdrop for the Fashion Week crew to flaunt their favourite pared-down palettes: effortless combinations of black, white, gray and beige. And while the tones were basic, the details certainly were not. Industry insiders amped up their outfits in subtler ways with unexpected prints and fuzzy textures. Here, 19 of the best neutral looks spotted so far.
