I own dark gray dress pants w/light gray pinstripes. What color shirts/belts/shoes would look best with them?

Question

I know that black shoes and black belts would be fine. I've always thought that brown shoes and brown belts do not match gray. Is that true?

Answer 1

I agree, I don't think gray and brown look nice together.
Black is fine for shoes and belts. Dark gray accessories look very sophisticated.

If you can, go shopping and take the pants with you. Then hold shoes, belts, shirts next to the fabric. When you find a combination that you like, take them to the dressing room for a try on. Look for deep jewel tones, and fall colors to complement the gray for shirts. Amethyst, sapphire, garnet, forest green, navy, burgundy, etc... Pick ones that you like, colors that complement you, then the pants. The color will be close to your face, so it shouldn't make you look sallow or dull.

If anyone asks, just explain to them that you are trying to find something to match your pants. Most sales clerks will understand. After all, they are in the business of helping people look good.

Answer 2

Belt and Shoes-Black
Shirts-Light Grey, Pink, Blue

Answer 3

Try a baby pink shirt, and black V toe shoes.

Answer 4

Silver, or try a pop of color like a red or wine. Ever watch What Not to Wear? Stacy and Clinton always show how to add a pop like that and it does look nice.

Answer 5

Any light color, pink, blue, black of course and white...
