What Colour Shoes to Wear with Grey Overcoat

The best shoe colours to wear with a grey overcoat are dark brown and black. Two neutrals with clear contrast: grey and dark brown always sit well together. Brown, burgundy, white and navy also work. Be careful with grey: sneakers are more casual than an overcoat, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: head-to-toe grey is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
