Very often, girls are afraid to buy clothes in neutral colors, preferring bright colors so as not to look like a gray mouse. Believe it or not, the most stylish image is created from basic things. For example, from a gray dress. By combining it with various accessories, you can create hundreds of unique looks. Do not come up with a single idea of ​​what to wear it with? Then we will share the secrets of a successful look.

Any shade of gray - neutral or basic, therefore goes well with all colors. However, there are some minor exceptions here.

For example, never combine light muted and bright flashy tones in one look. If you have chosen a dress in an ash, silver or light gray shade, give up turquoise or azure accessories. They will create an unpleasant contrast. It is better to pair them with a dark gray, almost black dress. And for light clothes, save things in pastel or vice versa in deep colors.

The classic combinations are:

  • gray + basic colors (white, black, beige);
  • gray + pink;
  • gray + red;
  • gray + blue;
  • gray + purple;
  • gray + yellow.

They are the most beneficial and appropriate in any situation. Do not give up on other colors. Spice up your look with printed clothing and accessories, mix up shades or create a calor block ensemble.

Do you already have a gray dress hanging in your closet, or have you looked at some special one, but doubt whether it is worth buying? In this case, choose a suitable style from the list and get inspired by the ideas for creating an image.

Long knitted dress

Fashionable women have long chosen a gray knitted dress and do not want to part with it. They can be understood. Mix the same item with different shoes and accessories for a new look.

For example, a long dress with slits on the sides of a straight cut, together with brutal boots and simple accessories, in the form of a chain with a pendant, create a casual street look.




Swap out your boots for beige or light pink sandals for a feminine look.




White sneakers and a tote bag transform a casual knit dress into a sporty one.

Dress with lace

Lace models are a real must-have. It doesn't matter which dress you choose - knitted or made of suiting fabric with inserts, completely lace, loose or fitted silhouette - the image will turn out to be perfect if you complement it with the right details.

A gray dress with a lace trim at the hem will look great with neutral accessories. For example, a black clutch, a strap and beige shoes. An original addition will be a bag with lace trim instead of the usual leather one.

A gray dress with a bell skirt and lace neckline or collar is self-sufficient. You should not overload it with additional details, but it will be appropriate to complete the look with brown boots or over the knee boots. Make sure the skirt covers your shoes.




A completely lace dress in a pale gray shade looks no less impressive. Pair it with sandals, shoes or boots with silver details.




Thanks to a midi-length lace dress, you won't have to rack your brains over an evening dress. It is enough to complement it with beige sandals. And if you like the image of a business woman, then throw a gray coat over the dress and take a voluminous bag to match the shoes.




Don't know what to wear to a party? Wear a short steel lace dress and mix it with leather leggings and high top sneakers. And don't forget about accessories - a studded bracelet or a massive ring.

Feel like a real princess in a metallic lace dress with a full skirt. To complete the ensemble, choose laconic pumps of a noble shade and massive emerald-colored clip-on earrings.




Sheath dress

The classic gray sheath dress is perfect for any occasion. In it you can go to the office, to a business meeting and even to the theater. The main thing is to place the accents correctly.

Wear a formal sheath dress with black leather pumps and a folder bag or clutch to maintain a business look. Don't use flashy accessories. Limit yourself to a thin bracelet or chain.




A gray-blue dress in tandem with pink shoes and a matching clutch will allow you to create a delicate look.

In cold weather, a gray dress of a strict silhouette will be adorned with a casually knotted thin brown leather strap and a coffee-colored fur coat.

Go for a gray total bow. You will need a sheath dress and a jacket of a similar shade. Choose accessories and shoes in other colors so that they do not blend with the outfit. For example, add accents with animalic details or with subtle shades like black or brown.




A lacy gray dress just below the knee will be an alternative to an evening outfit. Choose elongated earrings as accessories.




A-line dress

This model, despite its complex cut, turns out to be very versatile. We have a separate one on our website.

And in the line of trapeze dresses, you can find a lacy brother. If you want to get a business look, complement it with black pumps or patent leather boots.

They will be out of place here.




Take note of the knitted gray dress of an intricate cut. To it you can add a satchel bag in a deep shade and regular white sneakers.

You can pair it with dark pumps or bright sandals in yellow, navy blue, burgundy or silver with high heels.



The final chord will be an embroidered lace dress. Pick up silver pumps and a gold clutch for him.
