What Colours Go With Light Grey? The Easy Styling Formula

 

When you wear light grey, think of it as a beautiful supporting neutral.


Because it’s so soft and understated, whatever you wear with it becomes the feature. At the same time, light grey has a clever way of softening the impact of really bright colours, so they feel a little more wearable.


From there, you can decide how much contrast you want to create.


Keep your shoes medium dark, for a more subtle contrast, or go much darker to create a stronger, more dramatic effect.

The choice simply depends on the look and level of impact you want that day.

How can you tell the difference? 

The black T-shirt looks as though you are trying to match the dominant stripe with your tee = old-fashioned. 

And it falls flat.

Whereas the white T-shirt looks fresh and appears to be non-repeating to the white mascara middle stripe, like you aren't trying to match = so stylish.

The outfit feels fresher, lighter, and much more modern.


 

          


Then there are the no-shadow-of-a-doubt strong print items that want a direct print clash in black-and-white print as well, but at a different scale.
