What Colour Tops to Wear with Light Grey Suit

The best top colour to wear with a light grey suit is white. Two neutrals with clear contrast: light grey and white always sit well together. Navy, black, lavender and light blue also work. Be careful with cream: a turtleneck is more casual than a suit, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light grey and cream are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
