How to Wear Blue & Gray - Color Combinations for Blues & Greys in Menswear

About this video

The Gazette team explains how to effectively combine blue and gray, two of the most foundational colors in men’s classic style. They cover suit and tie combinations, blazer and trouser pairings, layering techniques, accessories, footwear, and socks, providing specific guidance on color contrast, patterns, and texture to create sophisticated outfits across formal and casual contexts.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends a navy suit with gray tie or gray suit with blue tie as foundational combinations, noting that blue and gray are relatively neutral colors that pair exceptionally well together
• The Gazette team advises avoiding extreme color contrast between pieces and incorporating patterns and textures to add visual interest and prevent outfits from appearing flat or boring
• The Gazette team suggests combining blue and gray in single pieces through patterned suits, patterned shirts, or mixed-texture accessories like double-sided scarves or patterned ties to create more sophisticated layering options
• The Gazette team recommends darker shades of blue and gray for footwear when experimenting with these colors, and suggests using shoelaces or socks as less bold entry points for introducing these colors into an outfit
