Gray shades are considered universal. It's quite difficult to miss and wear something that doesn't match them. Most often, the mistake lies not in the color palette, but in the pattern. Khokhloma motifs and Hawaiian shirts should be avoided if possible.
Shades
In addition to the many shades of gray itself, there is a whole list of combinations suitable for it.
Win-win options for combining with gray:
- pale pink and gray pink;
- river mother of pearl;
- burgundy;
- emerald;
- light sand;
- black;
- blue;
- myrtle;
- brown;
- gray-beige (other name: soft stone);
- ivory, white.
Helpful Notes:
- gray checkered trousers require a plain top;
- Shirts and T-shirts in white, dark blue, and black look good with vertical stripes on the trouser legs;
- a tacky top is not always suitable for light gray pants; you need to be careful with such combinations.
Another risky option: an image built only on gray tones.This looks especially bad when several items of different shade and texture are worn at once. It is better to dilute the silver-steel discord with a white shirt. You can soften the effect by simply removing your jacket or vest.
How to choose a top
First, it’s worth clarifying what kind of gray we are talking about. Some of them are more conservative. This can usually be said about very dark or too light shades. It is better to choose a plain top for trousers of this type.
Also, do not combine light gray classic-fit trousers with voluminous white loose-knit sweaters. Light green, yellow, orange T-shirts and shirts will also look bad with these pants. Instead, you should choose something burgundy, black or silver.
On a note! Fans of sporty style should take a closer look at tight white t-shirts with a y-shaped neckline.
How to choose shoes
First of all, take a closer look at shoes in classic colors. Suitable colors:
- steel shades;
- brown;
- black;
- white.
Blue sports shoes, as well as shoes in 2 classic shades, will look extravagant but appropriate. For example, white-black or black-brown oxfords.
White sneakers are also acceptable. Moreover, this season they can be worn together with jackets and trousers of strict silhouettes.
Different materials are acceptable. Suede, patent leather and matte leather will definitely look good.
Stylish looks
Checkered gray trousers and a white turtleneck are a resilient classic. This is how representatives of the English elite dressed. The look can be complemented with a cap (preferably in a checkered pattern, but a gray one will do). Some men go further and wear suspenders (they should match the pattern of their pants).Instead of suspenders, a vest is acceptable (experiment with fabric and wool options, buttoned and solid).
Classic gray trousers, a white shirt, a jacket and a sleeveless vest are a strict and discreet option for business men. A worthy alternative to black suits.
Note! A red, blue or striped tie will fit well into the last look.
Blue checked shirt and jeans with a tie of the same gray color. This onion came to us from America. You can beat it up by adding a genuine leather belt and Texas boots (try trying on shoes in a brown shade).
A tight black or white golf sweater, a white T-shirt under a jacket, a burgundy pullover are traditional options. A shirt will also look good. The length of its sleeves is selected based on the style of the trousers and the material from which they are made.
As an accessory, a belt (preferably leather) would definitely look appropriate. You can wear suspenders instead.
