Gray wedding suits pair well with a shirt in a lighter color, such as a white dress shirt or light blue. If you want to add some brighter colors to your ensemble, opt for lilac or soft pink.

The favourite and essential shirt colours every man must have in his wardrobe are white and light blue. These are both safe options for a grey suit, and enable you to create an array of classic options. Generally, a grey suit always looks good with a crisp white shirt and a black tie.

Dark brown shoes are your most versatile combination with gray suits, suiting both light and dark grays equally. They will always be appropriate in smart-casual settings and can also work well in most formal settings. The darkest browns look best with charcoal and a slightly lighter shade with mid-grays.

A stark, white shirt and black tie looks super clean with the grey suit, especially in pastel grey or charcoal. Otherwise, light greens, strawberry milk pink, lilac and powder blue are great shirting hues, adding a bit of cheeriness to the office.

Grey suits paired with black shoes create a fantastic monochromatic colour scheme. There are many shades of grey suits, but black shoes will almost always match that range without exception.

White Shirts pair well with all grey suits. However, they look particularly good with a charcoal grey suit. Pair your white shirts with a navy or burgundy tie when strutting a charcoal grey suit.
