Gray cardigans are the perfect staple piece for any wardrobe. With so many styling options, it can be hard to choose what outfit to wear! By picking out fun, complementary colors and pieces, you can wear your gray cardigan with confidence every time.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Create a classic look with a white shirt.

1. You can wear this outfit almost anywhere at any time. Pair your gray cardigan with a white T-shirt, tank top, button-down, or crop top underneath for a look that pops instantly.^[1]
   
   • Lighter gray cardigans will blend in with the white color, while darker gray ones will pop against it.
   • You can pair this outfit with some jeans and boots for a fall or winter look.
   • Or, try some khaki shorts and sandals during warmer weather.

[Edit]Use a plaid top to brighten up your outfit.

1. A plaid shirt will give your look a little visual interest. Try wearing a red, blue, or green plaid shirt under your gray cardigan for a pop of color and pattern.^[2]
   
   • You can leave your cardigan open to show off your shirt, or you can button it up for a more sophisticated look.
   • Pair your outfit with a beanie to stay cozy during the winter time.

[Edit]Try light wash jeans for an effortless outfit.

1. Light wash bottoms always look good with a gray cardigan. Go for skinny jeans, capris, or even jean shorts to look great every time.^[3]
   
   • For a more modern look, go for ripped or distressed jeans.
   • Try a vintage outfit with flared jeans and a gray cardigan.
   • Go for cropped jeans that hit at your ankle for an interesting silhouette.

[Edit]Try a sporty outfit with leggings.

1. Keep your look casual on your day off. Put on a pair of classic black leggings, then pair your outfit with a white T-shirt and your gray cardigan.^[4]
   
   • This look works best with a longer cardigan that hits just below your bum.
   • Pair your outfit with running shoes and a beanie if it’s cold out.

[Edit]Look chic in a black outfit.

1. Darker gray cardigans look great with an all-black outfit. Try pants and a shirt, a long dress and tights, or a skirt and a button-down with your cardigan on top.^[5]
   
   • If all black is a little too much for you, go for navy blue instead.

[Edit]Try an all-gray outfit for a monochromatic, chic outfit.

1. Turn heads in an outfit made entirely of gray tones. Pair your cardigan with a gray top, gray trousers, and a gray overcoat to hit the art museum or go out to a fancy brunch.^[6]
   
   • Don’t worry about matching all of your grays—in fact, varying tones will make your outfit look more put together.
   • Add a pop of color with your shoes or a handbag.

[Edit]Create casual looks with sneakers.

1. Pair your cardigan with running shoes or sneakers for a sporty look. Try wearing leggings, jeans, or a tennis skirt with your cardigan to complete your outfit.^[7]
   
   • White sneakers always look great with gray, while black or navy ones will blend in more with your outfit.
   • Or, add a pop of color to your look with red, blue, or green sneakers.

[Edit]Elevate your outfit with a pair of heels.

1. You can make any outfit a little more fancy with the right shoes. Try kitten heels for a day at the office, wedges for a spring evening, or stilettos for a night out on the town.^[8]
   
   • Black heels always look chic and sophisticated with a gray cardigan.

[Edit]Accessorize with a neutral handbag.

1. Let your gray cardigan stand out with natural colors. Grab a purse, handbag, or clutch that’s gray, white, or black for the perfect outfit every time.^[9]
   
   • You could also wear a black satchel or fanny pack for a more modern look.
   • For a casual outfit, try a neutral backpack instead.

[Edit]Brighten up your look with a fun scarf.

1. Gray is a neutral, so you can pair it with almost anything. Make your outfit stand out with pinks, reds, blues, and greens, especially during the spring and summer.^[10]
   
   • You can also add color in with your handbag or your jewelry.

[Edit]Pair your look with silver jewelry.

1. Grab your silver rings, necklaces, and earrings for a perfect outfit. Silver always looks great with gray, and they’re so similar that you almost can’t go wrong.^[11]
   
   • Make your look feel a little edgier by wearing a chain necklace or a statement necklace.
   • Dress your outfit up with long, dangly earrings, or keep it simple with small studs.

[Edit]Tips

• If your cardigan is a little oversized, cinch your waist with a belt to show off your figure.
