How to Pair Gray & Red - Color Combinations for Red & Grey in Menswear Outfits

About this video

The Gazette team explores multiple approaches to pairing gray and red in menswear, ranging from formal suit-and-tie combinations to casual sweater and trouser pairings. They demonstrate how these complementary colors work across the formality spectrum and provide practical guidance on avoiding common mistakes when combining them.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that gray provides a neutral base while red serves as a bold accent color, making them effective partners in menswear—gray should dominate in formal settings while red works best as an accent piece near the face
• The Gazette team cautions against common pitfalls including solid maroon dress shirts, wearing too many red statement pieces simultaneously, and red suits, which they contend fall outside classic menswear parameters
• The Gazette team recommends seeking out pieces that incorporate both gray and red—such as patterned ties, overcheck suits, or shadow-striped socks—as these work especially well when building outfits around this color combination
