\n\tIs gray the color of mental health? It is to Kenneth Cole.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn World Mental Health Day on Friday, the designer will launch the CharCole Collection, a limited-edition capsule in a custom gray shade developed with Pantone that is intended to symbolize that it\u2019s OK to live in the gray area before moving forward toward balance and well-being, according to the company.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe line of men\u2019s and women\u2019s outerwear, footwear and accessories in the monochromatic shade will include a trucker jacket, reversible vest, knit bomber and long-sleeve polo for men and a flannel midi dress, double-breasted jacket and wide-leg pant for women. In addition, a Pryer sneaker and Tully Cap Toe Oxford shoe for men and a Marsha Pointed Toe Boot and Jasper Flat for women will also be part of the collection. There are also cold-weather accessories including scarves, beanies, watches and belts.<\/p>\n
