When we talk about jeans without mentioning the color, we basically are referring to blue jeans. In a sense, blue is the standard color of jeans, with black and white being the distant second and third. What color belongs to the fourth place? The answer is not a clear cut one, but in my opinion, it is the grey jeans. Although not being the most popular item, the grey jeans actually look surprising good when put together with outfits of different styles. For this blog post, I have gathered some of my favorite ways to style the grey jeans. Let’s check out the list now.

I am starting off with an artistic grey-and-white outfit that perfectly captures the soul of the grey jeans. As a feminine outfit, simply wear a white knit comfy sweater with skinny grey jeans. The details that really upgrade the outfit is the brown suede ankle boots and the grey felt hat.

I often feel that the grey jeans are not mentioned enough when it comes to business casual work outfits. Using this professional looking outfit as an example, pairing a beige blazer with the cuffed grey skinny jeans and ballet heels simply creates a look that is so comfortable looking. It must be the warmer color tone in the grey jeans and other pieces that make this outfit look so cozy compared to wearing something more serious such as black dress pants and pencil skirts.

This outfit idea is here to show that not only you can wear grey jeans with t shirt and blazer for a work outfit, they can look good with a collar shirt too. Similar to the previous outfit idea, you can pair the jeans with a white button up shirt and a beige blazer. Black ballet heels would match all the pieces perfectly.
Grey Tee & Black Leather Jacket

Compared to some of the grey-and-white comfortable looking outfits mentioned, this outfit is a grey-and-black one that looks cold and stylish. Power dressing, a common express to describe the way to dress like a powerful boss or manager, doesn’t always mean suits. Indeed, as long as you know how to manipulate colors, you can wear a t shirt and still looks like a powerful boss. This outfit is a perfect example. Simply wear a grey t shirt and grey jeans with black ballet heels. The all-grey top and bottom are for emphasizing the power in the black leather jacket you wear over the t shirt.
Grey Tee with Long Cardigan

Since black and grey do look good together, it is not a surprise that the black thigh high boots over grey jeans can be a good outfit. For the top, simply wear a grey sweater.

For an artistic and chic look, try wear a top with more detail and character. This black and white horizontal striped sweater is a perfect example of that. Pair it with a black leather jacket, grey jeans and black heels. This outfit really captures how grey jeans lie at the middle of the “dark and cool” feel and the “light and casual” feel. Mediocrity simply sucks in terms of business or life, but when comes to colors, it sometimes is what you want to achieve when you want to look good yet remain low key.

Think Steve Jobs.
