What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Grey Overcoat

The best bottom colours to wear with a grey overcoat are navy, black and burgundy. Grey and navy are both cool and quiet, a safe office pairing. Charcoal, olive, beige and cream also work. Be careful with denim blue: jeans are more casual than an overcoat, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: grey and denim blue are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
