What color shirt goes with grey pants?

As I’ve mentioned before, there aren’t any laws when it comes to constructing outfits. But there are definitely some things to keep in mind when styling an outfit around a pair of grey jeans. Here are some of my top suggestions when deciding what color top to wear with your grey pants:

  • Neutrals are your safest bet. It’s hard to go wrong when pairing neutrals with grey. Think tans, creams, browns, and whites.
  • Monochrome is in. Combining varying shades of grey is an easy way to style your grey jeans. If you’re wearing darker shades of jeans, try adding lighter shades of grey on top – or vice versa.
  • Add an accent color. Since grey is such a muted shade, you don’t want to go overboard with bright hues. That being said, adding a pop of color in one or two brightly colored items to your outfit can be a fun way to liven up your look. Adding a bright shirt and/or a bright colored pair of shoes instantly makes your grey jeans look much more fun.

What shoes go with grey jeans?

There are tons of different shoe options that you can wear with grey jeans! If you’re feeling stuck on what to choose, check out this list of shoe styles that are tried and true with grey pants:

  • Ballet flats. You can almost never go wrong with a good pair of flats. Choose from round toe, square toe, or pointed toe to finish off your look. And better yet, choose a flat with a fun print to add some extra oomph to your outfit.
  • Ankle boots. Booties and grey jeans go hand in hand! Go for a comfortable pair of flat boots, or kick it up a notch and add a heel. A classic black leather or tan ankle boot is always a safe choice when wearing grey jeans.
  • Heels. Elevate your outfit (and your height) with some high heels. A pair of strappy black heels adds instant sophistication to your grey jeans.
  • Black boots. If you’re feeling edgy, go for a pair of black boots. Whether you’re sporting black riding boots or a pair of lace-up Doc Martens, a black leather boot is an awesome compliment to any outfit that includes grey pants.

Try the grey jeans trend for yourself!
