Soft and bright, gray is a must-have color that can be difficult to match. Today, we'll share some tips for looks that work every time.
First of all, here's a palette of colors that go very well with gray. You can mix them together, although we recommend limiting yourself to a maximum of three colors.
An elegant look
Light gray flannel chinos, a white or neutral-toned shirt, a deep blue jacket, a camel belt, and double brown buckles.
For what ?
This simple and understated look is ideal for both business meetings and special occasions. The Flannel Chino is made from 100% wool woven by the Italian fashion house Vitale Barberis Canonico. These pants are warm, breathable, and, above all, ultra-elegant.
Tip: Consider tucking your shirt into your pants to accentuate the elegance of your outfit and match the color of the leather on your belt and shoes.
Light Grey Flannel!
A nautical look
A pair of classic grey chinos, a navy blue sweater, a t-shirt (not a shirt) and thin white canvas sneakers.
For what ?
Choosing your sweater is essential for this outfit. Navy blue pairs perfectly with light gray. Choose a thick sweater, knitted in a very tight knit to ensure almost total thermal insulation and waterproofing. Its collar should be round and its sleeves slightly fitted, closed at the wrists.
Tip: Turn up your pants to reveal your ankles, which will slim your figure and give your outfit a more relaxed look.
The Classic Grey Chino!
A bold look
A pair of grey raw jeans, a white t-shirt, a dark, thick shirt, and brown ankle boots.
For what ?
A plaid shirt and ankle boots will instantly add character to your outfit. Your ankle boots will provide a sense of comfort, just as they did during World War II, when they were mandated to provide soldiers with the comfort, support, and durability they truly needed. How? Thanks to their toe cap, rubber soles, and 7 or 10 pairs of eyelets.
Tip: Roll up your pants to highlight their contrasting cuffs and your ankle boots. Also, consider tucking in your t-shirt to structure your outfit and break up the baggy look of your shirt.
The Raw Grey Jeans!
A dressy look
A Grey Houndstooth Air Flannel Chino, an ecru sweater and brown high ankle boots.
For what ?
This look features three classic, timeless shades: ecru, brown, and gray. The Italian wool of the Air Flanelle is woven with a super 120 thread for added lightness. It features an elastic waistband, a detail that provides optimal comfort. If you want to add a touch of elegance to your outfit, add a brown leather belt to your waist using the belt loops.
Tip: Wear a t-shirt and not a shirt under your sweater to break up the elegant side of your outfit by adding a touch of simplicity.
The Grey Houndstooth Air Flannel Chino!
A casual look
Anthracite Sport Chino , an ecru 4-ply cashmere sweater and colorful running shoes.
For what ?
The vibrant colors of your running shoes will contrast with the timeless gray-ecru duo. Speaking of ecru... The thread count of a cashmere sweater indicates its thickness. For example, a cashmere sweater knitted in 4 threads will be twice as thick as a cashmere sweater knitted in 2 threads.
Tip: Let your pants fall without turning them up; this will enhance the sporty, casual look of your outfit.
