How To Pair Shirts & Ties With Gray Suits - Guide to Wearing Grey

About this video

The Gazette team provides comprehensive guidance on pairing gray suits with shirts and ties across different formality levels. They explain how charcoal, medium, and light gray suits each offer different styling opportunities, then detail specific shirt colors—white, blue, and pink being classics—and tie combinations that work harmoniously with each shade, emphasizing the importance of contrast, color theory, and formality matching.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that charcoal gray suits are the most formal and versatile, working in situations where black suits would be appropriate, while medium and light gray suits become progressively more casual
• The Gazette team recommends that shirts should generally be lighter in color than the suit for proper contrast, with white, light blue, and pastel pink being the safest classic options
• The Gazette team teaches that tie color should typically be darker than the shirt, and that larger patterns and textures are more casual—making them better suited to lighter gray suits rather than charcoal
