What Colour Tops to Wear with Grey Suit

The best top colours to wear with a grey suit are white, navy and lavender. Two neutrals with clear contrast: grey and white always sit well together. Light blue, pink, burgundy and black also work. Be careful with grey and camel: a sweater is more casual than a suit, 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.
