Wearing grey

[sweetheart]

Can you tell me how you wear Grey? I have quite a lot of grey in my wardrobe but I always struggle to coordinate it with my other colours.

If I wear grey trousers I feel I must default to black shoes. If I wear a grey top I usually default to black trousers and shoes.

I have a lot of brown / neutral / navy blue / burgundy in my wardrobe.......also a little bit of a few other colours (yellow for example but again never sure on shoes!!!) never sure how to put the together.......

Today I am wearing grey tights and grey/blue shoes with a pink,yellow and blue dress. The dress is quite bright but there is a tiny bit of light grey in the pattern.

Having thought about it, I wear quite a bit of grey, but rarely with black. Usually with a bright colour. It seems to go with everything.

I think it depends on the tone of grey really. I can only get away with greys with a bit of a warm undertone. Anything grey marl and I look crypt worthy.

I find the pinterest boards on soft summer helpful for seeing what they could co-ordinate with.

If you suit cold grey then look at true winter/summer boards.

I am no style expert at all, but I think all of your other colours, except maybe brown, work well with grey. I think you could wear burgundy, purple or red shoes if you want to avoid defaulting to black.

I tend to treat grey as a neutral and brighten it up. Eg - Greg trousers, purple top, black shoes; grey jumper, jeans, red boots; grey dress, black leggings and boots; coloured beads. I also really like grey tights (semi opaque and wooly) with skirts and dresses.

I know that you shouldn't wear grey if you also have grey hair. It's instantly ageing, because there is too much grey!

My husband is prematurely grey and I bought him a grey jumper. It looked terrible on and made him look 90!

He doesn't wear it now.

Wear grey otherwise.! It goes well with burgundy.

If you have grey hair, I suppose you could wear grey on your bottom half!

If you want to add in colour I think greys work well with pinks and dark reds, and also with blue - such as jeans etc.

I love grey and mustard yellow together. Some grey tones look great with navy.
I've seen a lot of grey jumpers underneath a camel coat lately, not sure what I think of that, I wouldn't have thought it would go, but may be because I don't wear any shade of brown.

Hmmmm seems I'm the only one with a grey issue here then lol I think it's the shoes that do it - especially in winter. In summer I have a variety of coloured court shoes but only brown or black boots to keep my feet warm in winter. I do have a pair of grey boots but they just look wrong...

Sounds like an excuse to get something lovely in a dark red

I've just today bought some grey work trousers that I'm planning to wear with clarks oxblood shoes

What dark red boots??? Hmmmmmm

Look at taupe boots instead.

Oh blimey no that would send me into overload.....are they grey, are they beige....who knows lol

I've had to stop wearing grey since I've stopped dyeing my hair. I didn't have loads of grey stuff anyway but it really does make me look like a lumpy bowl of out of date oatmeal now .

I wouldn't mind but I'm (only?) 34 .

Grey goes with most other colours. I wear it with red, fuschia, navy, black, purple. I no longer wear browns, greens, orange, so I can't picture how it'd go with those.

Someone mentioned grey tights. It's still only September and lovely weather. Have you started wearing tights?

I wear loads of grey - pretty much the only thing it doesn't go with is brown or beige.

It goes with navy, pale blue, denim, white, black. Or brights like pink, orange, green, yellow.

It was cold when I got dressed at 7am lady

Was sweating a bit later
