Colours That Go With Grey: 6 That Make for Chic Parings

You might think that all the colours in your wardrobe go with grey, and you’d be right! As versatile a shade as they come, grey strikes a harmonious balance in just about any outfit. In fact, I’d even argue it’s more versatile than black, owing to its diffused intensity, which often works better with the paler end of the colour spectrum; think pastels and powdery tones that pure black can look harsh against.

I turned to social media (as I do whenever I’m in need of style inspiration) to see the colours fashion people are currently wearing with grey. Aside from black and white, which are pretty much guaranteed to work, I found six grey colour combinations that are pretty, striking and classy. Rather than keep them to myself, tucked away in my private saved folders, I thought I’d share them with you in case you’re also pondering which colours go with your latest grey purchase. Scroll on!
