What to wear with a gray jacket

In everyday life, gray color is considered to be inconspicuous and neutral. But a jacket of this color in the wardrobe is a unique thing. A neutral color allows you to “play” with other colors in the image, does not go beyond the strict official dress code, but at the same time allows you to “smooth out” and soften the image of both men and women.

Thanks to its color, a gray jacket looks equally good in a formal men's suit or with jeans and a T-shirt. And for women, they can add variety to almost any look – from a romantic floral dress to a formal pencil skirt and a white blouse.

In order not to spoil the image with the wrong color of a shirt or polo, Some rules should be followed:

• The jacket certainly goes perfectly with a white shirt.
• A red and white checkered shirt looks fresh and unusual.
• A classic gray shirt with vertical stripes is another element of basic office style.
• A gray jacket goes well with pink shirts or T-shirts.
• A blue shirt, a light sweater or a T-shirt of the same color will perfectly complement the look.

ATTENTION: When choosing a set of clothes, it is important to pay attention to the shades of the entire image. The gray color itself is calm, as if invisible, so some other part of the image must be active.

What to wear with a women's gray jacket

A stylish, strict and elegant women's gray jacket should be in the wardrobe of any girl. This item of clothing can look good not only in the work dress code and office style, but will also refresh your everyday look and even a weekend outfit. The main thing is to successfully combine the style of the jacket and its shades.

Depending on model

Having recognized the relevance of gray jackets in women's wardrobes, designers around the world rushed to diversify them. You can find models of an elongated style, shortened or in a loose cut. To create a beautiful look, it is worth learning how to combine each type of model with other clothes.

Extended

Long gray jackets are usually mid-thigh or knee length. This style perfectly hides excess in this part of the figure, so for women with rounded hips this model will be very relevant. It is noteworthy that the style also looks great on girls with a chiseled figure.

IMPORTANT: It is highly not recommended for short girls to choose long jackets.

You can combine this style of jacket like this:

• With light dresses or loose-fitting skirts.
• With a formal pencil skirt and shirt.
• With black trousers or jeans and a black top.
• With blue and light blue jeans and a bright shirt.
• With shorts or short overalls.

ADVICE: As a fashionable trick when wearing a gray long jacket, you can roll up the sleeves to the elbows and add accents to the look with scarves, bracelets, and a handbag.

If you have a waist that you want to emphasize, you can use a belt in your look.

Short

A short jacket can easily be considered a universal wardrobe item. It is suitable for any body type and height, looks great with almost any style and always “puts together” an image. Some of the most successful combinations:

• Skinny jeans in any color and a T-shirt or printed shirt.
• Strict office style sheath dress.
• Pencil skirt and light shirt.
• Black jumpsuit.
• Black trousers and a pink blouse.
• Gray dress pants and white blouse.
• White trousers and white top.

It is also noteworthy that a short jacket can be worn over an evening dress, especially if it is made in pink, beige or purple.

Depending on the tone and pattern

In addition to the style, the models differ in shades and patterns. As a rule, gray jackets can have a checkered, striped, or houndstooth pattern.The shades of color also have some variety and their own nuances of compatibility.

Light gray

The light gray model dictates the combination of the same light and calm colors and pastel shades in the image. These can be blouses of cream, peach, blue, lilac. At the same time, it is better to leave the lower part of the image dark - otherwise the clothes will merge, leaving no bright, active color.

Dark grey

You can use a dark gray jacket with more saturated colors - yellow, fuchsia, turquoise, coral. Due to the closeness of the color to black, a jacket in this shade is ideal for office style and is often chosen for an everyday look - it is not as strict as a black jacket, but at the same time, the style is respected. Despite the strict nature of dark gray jackets, they allow the use of bright accessories, bags, and scarves.

In a cage

Considering that this color itself is extremely neutral, it perfectly carries various prints. They add some uniqueness to the jacket and sometimes attract the main attention. The most popular print is check.

The check on the jacket can be large or small, made in a single color or a combination. When choosing an entire look in which you plan to use a checkered jacket, it is important to remember some nuances:

• If other clothes, in addition to the jacket, have a checkered print, the size of the checkers should be the same throughout.
• A large check on a jacket can visually increase the volume of a figure, so it is better to choose a print in relation to your own proportions.
• If the print is made in a combined color, a blouse or skirt matched to one of the shades of the checkered pattern is ideal. Most often, the checkered pattern on gray jackets is black and pink.
• Gray checked models go well with brown trousers of any style - this creates a British style of the 20th century.

Striped

Prints on a jacket can be different - floral, houndstooth, but the classic one is stripes. Lots of basic looks have vertical stripes. Likewise, a gray jacket can be decorated with small or wide stripes. A small stripe print will be relevant for more formal looks - with classic trousers, blouses, narrow skirts or dresses.

ADVICE: A gray jacket with large, wide stripes will help you stand out and decorate your everyday wardrobe.

This item goes well with jeans, shorts, and leggings. Depending on the color of the stripe, the basic clothing for the jacket is selected - it can be the same color as the stripes of the print, or another color that can be combined well.

Regardless of the shade, style or print of a gray jacket you like, every woman can buy such a thing. In any wardrobe there will be sets that will perfectly match a gray jacket.
