In general, being a neutral and versatile color, it is not very difficult to combine it but it is to fail in the combination. You can always do like Fashion Jackson and choose a basic combination without fanfare, to be successful.
With very soft tones

One of our favorite options is Gigi Hadid's, with shades of gray so soft they could even be mistaken for an off-white and a touch darker in the footwear. Obviously, you can add some jeans (a little less ripped than the ones the model is wearing, take inspiration from Fashion Jackson for example) and make sure that they will stick 100%.

We have recreated the essence of Gigi Hadid's look so that you can see for yourself that there is tonal harmony and that it is a successful combination. In addition, we have added a darker python-type accessory that we love.

Selena Gomez, on the other hand, knows that between matching colors there are several shades that can work together. In this case, the singer wears a knitted sweater slightly lighter than the gray of the skirt and black pumps, resulting in a very lady and wearable look.

For our part, we wanted to show you that even a bluish gray goes very well with a dark gray (as well as black). We would add another touch of color, like a pink in the accessories.

The classic gray print that returns every season and that has done so with more force than ever this year. In this case, the choice of Priyanka Chopra, with a two-piece and with identical prints, seems like a success.

That said: there is no more winning pair than an identical two-piece. The versatility of the prince of wales pattern allows us to try accessories in bright colors such as white.

And is that, really, gray and light blue are very similar colors depending on the tonality. For this reason, we would opt for a slightly darker gray than usual and add a blazer or a jacket (even corduroy, which is a trend) in a duller, more autumnal blue.

Gray clothes are combined like this

The colors that combine with gray are easier to find than those that combine with green, that is clear. But we bet that now you are much more determined to try other possibilities and wear one of the star colors of winter like a true fashion insider . We encourage you to do it with everyone we have proposed, even as Zendaya wears it, with transparencies.
Despite the fact that chocolate brown seems to be the star color of the season (word from Zara), we cannot deny that gray is a very typical color for these dates . We know that it is very likely that you have worn it to satiety and that you are tired of always combining it with the same colors and patterns. But don't worry, because luckily gray has more ability to combine than many think and black is no longer the only option. We show you.
Colors that match gray
Before giving you some options, you have to know that the versatility of the gray color is due to the fact that it is a neutral color and neutral colors have such a powerful adaptability that makes our lives so much easier. In addition, the variety of tones allows us to combine it with some things or others.
A warmer gray can go perfectly with mustard or even beige . While cool grays marry great with blue and other darker tones.
But there are two colors that are unrivaled and that, along with gray, always look good: red and white. Both are two very different colors from each other and, a priori, it may seem that one is easier than the other. But no, red has the same ability as white to succeed.
So now you know, prepare your back to office looks in gray tones and combine them with everything we have proposed. You'll be surprised.
