The color is a nuanced greige, which I think can be worn by both men and women. The size is 1/2. My personal feeling is that it runs small. The fabric is sturdy and doesn't stretch much, so I started using it around 6 months old. My child was able to wear it until around 1 year and 8 months old. When shipping, I will compress it for compactness, so I would appreciate it if you could understand.
