We’ve covered which colors look good with brown, so today we’re turning eye to another hue that can be a bit trickier to style than basic black. Gray can be one of those confounding colors. What colors even go with gray? Our co-founder Hillary Kerr always says that since nothing goes with gray, everything goes with gray. We adore this way of thinking—the fewer fashion rules the better in our book. However, if you need a little inspiration to get started, we do think there are some pairings that are particularly pleasing, and have found examples of how to wear the neutral IRL. And with fall almost upon us, we figure there’s no better time to figure out how to wear the seasonal hue than now. Scroll on for four colors that go with gray fabulously, along with a bonus non-color that we think also looks particularly pretty with it.
PURPLE
Purple has been having quite the moment in 2018, so it's a great pick to make gray feel particularly fresh.
