The color gray, once considered boring, has been declared “the new black.” It acts as a universal color because, along with classic black and white, it easily fits into any look. This applies to both clothing and accessories. If you have bought or are looking for a gray handbag, then you should think about what to wear it with and how to combine it correctly with clothes of different colors. Read more about this.
Clothing colors that go with a gray bag
Gray shades are a calm range from light pearl to dark charcoal. They look quite neutral. These are noble tones that can be combined with many colors: classic, pastel, bright. The gray palette will allow any girl to choose exactly the color that will make her interesting and unique both in summer and winter..
Use the recommendations for the correct selection of shades of a gray handbag for clothes of different colors:
- for yellow, orange, red, blue, green, choose an accessory in a rich shade of gray that echoes the bright color: for a green dress - a gray or stone clutch, for a blue coat - a slate bag, for a yellow sweater - a charcoal backpack;
- with pastel colors of pink, blue, beige, lilac, mint, choose a handbag in a more delicate and lighter shade of gray: for a mint suit you should take a basalt-colored tote, for a pink dress - a silver shopper, for a beige coat - a signal gray duffle.
How to combine different styles of bags with clothes?
A gray handbag goes perfectly with absolutely all clothes. It goes great with jeans, trousers, skirt, suit, dress, cardigan, sweater, coat, jacket, poncho, down jacket, fur coat, sheepskin coat. There is no clothing with which this accessory cannot be combined.
However, when choosing a style, be careful: an elegant clutch will look perfect with an airy outfit of a romantic cut, and with a sheepskin coat it will look funny. A briefcase in the hands of a girl wearing sportswear will also look ridiculous.
To the office
Everyday life dictates a special selection of clothes, even if there is no strict dress code at work. Business style clothing is the embodiment of classics and elegance. A handbag should be the same. For a lady attending negotiations or transporting various documents, the best option would be rigid styles: a travel bag, a bag - or a backpack-briefcase, a canopy, a messenger. Often you also need to place a laptop or tablet there, as well as a diary, wallet, phone, and various women’s little things. That's why the accessory must be large enough and have a rigid bottom and walls.
For office everyday life, a marengo-colored briefcase bag is good, paired with black skinny trousers, leather loafers, a gray soft jacket and a smoky blouse. It would be justified to choose a light gray frame handbag for blue trousers with pintucks, a white blouse with short lace sleeves and mother-of-pearl pumps.
In everyday life
For shopping, meeting friends, walking in the park, choose a model that is convenient for you, from the smallest to the largest. For casual style, bags of various styles would be appropriate, for example:
- shopper;
- tote;
- flat;
- ladle;
- trunk;
- bag;
- backpack;
- sling
A steel shopper looks great with black skinny jeans, a white pullover and a pale pink coat. A pearl tote with black leather trousers, a dark blue shirt of a classic cut and silver pumps looks no less good. A voluminous pearlescent handbag will undoubtedly decorate and enliven a look of black leather leggings and ankle boots, a white cotton T-shirt and a loose melange cardigan in black and white colors.
For the celebration
For an evening out, you should choose a small handbag, because you need to take a minimum of things with you. And moving around in a noisy crowd with a small accessory in your hands or on your shoulder is much more convenient.
The choice of a mouse-like envelope handbag on a belt made of gold chains looks very natural with a white mini dress, a beige coat and high-heeled shoes. A girl looks smart in an ash-colored skirt, dusty-colored platform shoes, a white sleeveless blouse with crystal trim at the neckline, and a bag matching the color of the shoes. The discreet chic in this look is supported by silver jewelry.: earrings with pendants and a massive bracelet.
What to wear with a silver bag?
Fashion designers have been using this color for many years to create catwalk looks. The fashion for shiny clothes, shoes and accessories has entered the mass market. A silver-colored bag is a sought-after accessory for dressy and casual outfits. It can be combined with all colors because it is essentially a universal gray accessory..
Important! There should be no more than two silver accents in the image: bag, shoes, clutch + shoes, backpack + bracelet, etc. If you are wearing a shiny dress, then choose a matte bag. There should not be too much silver detailing, this is bad manners.
The beauty of the white dress with silver trim is supported by a gray handbag with silver accents. A small silver handbag on a long shoulder strap will perfectly complement the look created from a gray suit with small checks, a charcoal coat without a collar and black pumps.
What shoes go with a gray bag?
The times when the rule of choosing the color of a bag to match your shoes have long gone into oblivion. Now this accessory is matched to any other item of clothing, including shoes or boots. Or even plays his solo part, without matching anything in clothes. This is all a matter of personal taste, but Do not forget that the image should not contain more than three colors.
Following this rule, choosing shoes for a gray bag will not be difficult. Consider the style of the accessory, and you will see that the steel shopper looks great in a casual look with sneakers, and for a business look, sports shoes should be replaced with ankle boots.
Important! If the bag is matched to a monochrome gray outfit, then you need to take an accessory several tones darker or lighter, thus diluting the restraint of the bow.
Additional accessories
In an image made up of different gray shades, accessories for the hands and neck area carry a very significant load. The look should be complemented with bright and massive beads, bracelets, and hair clips. Metal jewelry or long silver chain earrings look good. Don't forget dark glasses if appropriate.
An image in any color scheme, complemented by a gray handbag, can be maintained in a very interesting way. jewelry in silvery tones and the discreet shine of precious metals: silver, platinum.
