Avoid

Combinations to skip

Skip the grey sneakers. Sneakers are more casual than pleated trousers, 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.
Skip the camel sweater. Grey and camel are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
