Grey suit for men: light gray, gray or anthracite?
VALENCI · Style guide
Gray suit for men
From light gray to anthracite: the same color family, a completely different look. Compare shade, design and fit before choosing your suit.
Which shade of gray do you choose?
Light gray gives a lighter, open look. Middle gray is a calm basis for various combinations. Anthracite looks darker and more formal. The product photos help you compare the real shade and texture per model; the names alone don't tell the whole story.
01 · Light gray and comfort fit
Vittorio Light Gray
The Vittorio light gray three-piece suit consists of a jacket, waistcoat and trousers. Unlike the slim-fit models below, this suit is described as a Drop 4 comfort fit, with more room around the waist.
02 · Classic Grey
Morvelli Grey
The Morvelli three-piece suit gray combines jacket, waistcoat and trousers and is described as slim fit. Those who prefer a visible design can compare the checkered Grigio suit . The Grigio product text contains conflicting color indications, so judge that shade via the product photos.
03 · Anthracite with structure
Sartoria Anthracite
Darker gray without becoming completely black? According to the product information, the Sartoria three-piece suit anthracite has a slim-fit cut and a subtly structured pattern. Also compare the Raffaele anthracite suit with mixed fabric texture.
Two-piece, three-piece or double-breasted?
A three-piece suit contains a jacket, waistcoat and trousers. Would you prefer two parts with a fine stripe? According to the product information, the Siena two-piece suit gray has a pinstripe and consists of a jacket and trousers. According to the product information, the Imperio double-breasted suit gray combines a double-breasted button-up, waistcoat and trousers. Look at the photos and composition of each model.
How do you combine a gray suit?
A white shirt gives a bright contrast to both light gray and anthracite. Light blue provides a softer combination. A check or pinstripe already provides visual details, so don't let accessories compete with that. Match shoes and other details to the occasion and dress code.
