What to wear with a men's gray suit?

The gray suit is most often found in the men's wardrobe. It is almost universal and can be used in more than one stylish look.

What does a gray suit go with in different styles?

Casual is not very limited. For example, you can take any bright men's shirt made of thick cloth (fasten almost all the buttons, leave only 2-3 undone). Wear a white T-shirt underneath so that it peeks out from under the collar of the shirt. Complete the resulting look with a belt. The color should match the top. So, if it is green, then a brown belt would be appropriate.

Multi-layering You can also beat it with a jumper or pullover with a V-neck. A printed shirt (checkered, for example) can be left unbuttoned at all if you don’t wear a jacket. Well, the T-shirt can easily be replaced with a long sleeve (gray, white or contrasting).

It's worth trying to wear turtleneck. For a light gray or blue-gray base, choose a blue one, for a gray suit with a small pattern - white, for a dark one - a coral or burgundy beatle. Black “noodles” also look good with a light jacket.

If the situation allows, then the color would also be appropriate on a sleeveless vest. Woolen orange will fit into the image along with a checkered suit, a gray-blue shirt and a multi-colored tie, on which orange motifs turn into red and brown. Well, a vest made of suiting fabric should ideally match the tone of the jacket. Especially if the latter has a pattern.

As a base for business men's look take not a shirt, but a chemise - a cotton wardrobe item with long sleeves, a very starched collar and without any decorative stripes or non-classical cut elements. Suitable fiber weave: fine mesh, smooth, dense. The content of artificial threads in cloth should not exceed 5%.

Which shirt to choose?

Win-win color solutions:

• white;
• blue;
• beige;
• burgundy;
• pink and lilac;
• blue;
• gray (only lighter than the suit itself or with some kind of print);
• black.

Important! Bright solutions should be complemented with a scarf that is harmonious in color and texture.

White is the safest option. On the one hand, it fits into any, even the strictest dress code, on the other hand, it makes the choice of shoes and accessories unlimited.

Speckled and checkered patterns are preferable, although a thin sparse stripe is also acceptable. Moreover, the frequency of pattern repetition on a shirt should be higher than on a suit - a rule for those who have the same pattern on both their jacket and shirt.

Of the shirt collar shapes, acute-angled options are more appropriate.Save the model with wide diverging ends for an office or business look that requires a tie.

Which tie and accessories are appropriate?

If the shirt has a multi-colored checkered pattern, then the tie should match the color of one of the shades of the shirt. The pocket square in this case should also be checkered, but with a smaller and more frequently repeated pattern.

All shades of red look good with a white men's shirt. Wherein The texture of the fabric of the product is important. It’s just that smooth and even material doesn’t look so interesting. Well, wear a blue tie with dim white, muted or pastel. It will also go well with a light blue shirt.

Other appropriate colors and prints:

• brown-pink;
• black;
• copper;
• blue, gray or red with small white polka dots;
• black and gray diagonal stripe;
• light beige with blue stripes;
• gray-black check;
• orange with a melange effect or speckled;
• plain pink or blue;
• white with complex floral patterns (gray-blue, for example).

Choosing shoes for a gray suit

For a festive look, light borgs, retro borgs and oxfords are suitable. Loafers and derbies will fit into your everyday ensemble. You can also try wearing sports, plain white shoes (preferably leather or at least faux leather). If you want to add a rough accent, go for shoes with grooved soles. Some people manage to combine a gray suit even with Martins.
