A grey jacket is a perfect neutral piece that transitions seamlessly between formal and casual wear. Take a look at our 5 favourite grey jacket pairings.
For a preppy look
Brushing up on your business-leisure dressing skills is always a good idea and a grey blazer/jacket is just what you need to nail the look. Wear one over a classic light blue shirt, dark coloured trousers and loafers or lace-ups. For added flair, pull up your blazer’s sleeves or cuff them.
With pastels underneath
A grey jacket is just what you need to balance out pastel colours such as mint or baby pink, which is why layering your grey jacket over a pastel shirt or T-shirt makes for the best way to welcome spring, especially if you add summer sandals to the mix.
With coloured trousers
Wearing coloured trousers such as those in shades of maroon, purple or deep orange is a bold move that makes balancing elements essential. Ensure you keep everything in proportion by toning down the burst of bold colour with a steely-grey blazer.
Over shorts
As the days get warmer, don’t shy away from wearing your grey jacket over matching grey shorts. Wear a simple white button down or T-shirt underneath and your smart-casual look is perfect for a brunch or a laidback day date.
With a chambray shirt
Blue and grey complement each other perfectly, which is why we suggest you take advantage of the combination by pairing a chambray shirt with a grey jacket and dark-wash jeans or chinos.
