Among the classic shoe colors - brown, black, white and gray - the latter is the most versatile. It is he, as strange as it may sound, who is the best base for outfits of any shade, texture and style.
What style suits gray shoes?
An office, business or evening look will be complemented by dorseis and skinbacks. Classic pumps will be appropriate in previous cases, as well as when creating ensembles in accordance with the new look trend. Well, suede models are ideal for cute and casual looks for women.
With light summer outfits, you should wear gray flats without heels and with a rounded toe. Their alternative: sandals and wedges. This shoes allow you to avoid vulgarity and the pin-up effect when wearing dresses of a special cut.
Girls with beautiful legs and no structural features are recommended to buy litas. They're great fit into club ensembles, glamorous looks and looks designed in accordance with the lingerie style. With their help you can also play with retro things. And the pin-up above also requires lita shoes.
Monicas, brogues and oxfords are solutions for students and fans of preppy style. They are especially successful will fit into a completely silver or gray look, in which each item of clothing matches the others in tone. In this particular case, you shouldn’t be afraid of uniformity, since the style is characterized by contrasting little things: stripes, buttons and cufflinks of a different color (often yellow) and material, leather belts in classic shades.
If necessary, the gray “sea” can be diluted with a bright tie or pocket square.
Typical military tones and colors also harmonize with the protective variation of silver. Wear a dress or suit with a skirt that reaches the knee (maybe a little lower or higher).
Which shades go with what?
Successful combinations:
- marengo-colored pumps and a classic-colored business trouser suit;
- all-white or all-black bow and gray shoes (We select the shade and type of heel based on the type of outfit);
- smoky shoes and light summer looks;
- warm-colored shoes and a yellow dress;
- a carrot or coral dress with a flowing silhouette and soft silver shoes with a strap;
- transition from gray to white: shoes in the darkest and deepest shade, trousers in light gray, and a sweater in white;
- mousey is a good basis for a completely gray look;
- light gray looks wonderful with soft pink (for example, with a coat, dress, jumper, blouse);
- silver shoes and mint sweaters, dresses.
You should not limit yourself to the proposed options. As was said earlier, gray is the canvas, the base. A universal shade that harmonizes with completely different colors, from poisonous orange to fuchsia..
This is partly due to the fact that there are both very light shades (they perfectly replace white shoes) and deep dark ones (an alternative to black models). There are also gray-green, gray-pink, gray-blue combinations - bright colors are often mixed with silver and smoky. And the result is a new tone that is in perfect harmony with both colors from which it is composed.
What clothes to combine with?
It is possible to combine almost any item of clothing with the base color.
Tights
Ideally, they should match the color and texture of the shoes. If this is unattainable, go for a nude nylon without a shiny effect. Worst solution: tight, impenetrable black tights. Bright plain tights look wonderful with the overall contrasting mood of the look. For example, with a white romantic fitted dress, red ones will pop.
Trousers
Burgundy, grey, white, black, orange, pink, dark green and blue skinny trousers will be the perfect complement to heeled pumps. Ballet flats will be a worthy replacement for them, just like loafers.
Suits
Combine a plain women's trouser suit - white, grey, brown or black - with pointed-toed shoes. In this case, rely on the rule: light clothes require light gray (periwinkle, zircon), dark outfits require dark gray (marengo, anthracite).
Jeans
Both classic blue and dirty gray will do. Specks are acceptable (dark or light).
Important! Boyfriends this season are much preferable to skinny and slim ones.
Dresses
Velvet outfits - for example, robe dresses - harmonize perfectly with suede and silver.Satin iridescent fabrics can be enhanced with deep dark silver. The abundance of iridescent colors will suggest a shiny shade of shoes.
