If you have grey jeans, what colours do you wear them with?

Just bought my first pair...I'm rubbish at putting colours together (have to ask DH if stuff goes!) so looking for inspiration :)

Anything goes with grey.

GreenShadow · 15/04/2013 14:52

Current;y wearing grey jeans and agree with Flo - most things will go with them.

OneLittleLady · 15/04/2013 14:53

I mostly wear blues, black, white and purples with it. Very occasionally pink.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 15/04/2013 14:57

Anything. I'm in grey now and have a red top with them.

I have light grey jeans and light pink looks nice with them

Hmm, maybe it's the tones I'm getting wrong then, because I feel a bit drab in them. Or maybe I just don't like grey jeans! They look really cool on other people...

I wear mine with "cool" toned colours: white, pink, red, black and cobalt, so not creams, browns etc. But that's just how I like to wear them. Maybe get on Pinterest and do a search on grey jeans and see the outfits that others have put together with grey jeans.

Great idea bunnymother, I haven't been on Pinterest for ages and had kind of forgotten about it!

Polyvore is a great site for inspiration clothes wise too.

If you have found a pair of grey straight-leg or slim jeans, can you let me know where from. I have been looking for eternity and the seams are giving out on my old pair (and I've already sewn them up once).

I wear them with white, silver, dusky pink, a white blouse I have with purple and green flowers on, a cream silk t'shirt.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 15/04/2013 15:37

La Primark do them. I have a pair that's 2 year old yet you wouldn't think it. Try haven't changed shape or faded

LaTrucha · 15/04/2013 15:39

Thanks but I have to buy online, which they don't seem to do [LaT lusts after urban conurbations with lovely things with shops in...]

LaTrucha mine are ultra skinny ones from Uniqlo.

Can't do skinny, but thanks.

White top, coloured sandals and scarf/accessories, and a tan. Grey jeans are not the feature piece of an outfit, but a sort of background to something stronger.

Mominatrix · 15/04/2013 18:35

I think grey jeans are very versatile - I am constantly in grey and wear it with most colours bar brown.

MarshaBrady · 15/04/2013 18:37

They do go with lots. I had very pale ones and like them with yellow.

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 15/04/2013 19:45

How much are Primark skinny jeans please? Sorry to hijack, I just have to get a pair for a work event at the weekend, and I never wear jeans but don't want to spend much money.

I love grey with red or pink especially.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 15/04/2013 19:49

Between £7 and £11 i think

Puddlelane · 15/04/2013 22:08

Careful you don't get the really light weight ones, my black super skinny's have faded and grown :(

Puddlelane · 15/04/2013 22:09

Grown...stretched? Both?
