There are many shades of gray - and the good news - it’s a scientific and fashion fact that gray looks good on everyone. Dark skin, light skin, blonde hair or red – gray will enhance it all.

For men, it is a sleek, sexy, and sophisticated color that signals importance, social status, and style. Plus it looks great with a little dash of stubble. Here are our tips for wearing gray like a pro (or like Christian Gray – sorry, we had to).

1. Wear gray with bright slacks. For a refined, country-club casual look, reach for a gray cashmere sweater and bold red, blue, or mustard trousers. Finish off the look with some topsiders and a Sivani men’s leather bracelet.

2. Wear a manly gray suit. Gray suits are smart and classic. Last season’s pastels are still a go for fall, so why don a crisp, light collared shirt and light gray tie with a dark gray suit.

3. Gray tee, black blazer, dark denim. Speaking as a woman, this is one of the most attractive ensembles for men on the planet. Completely classic and masculine. Sivani men’s leather necklaces look awesome with this look – the simple men’s leather necklace with sterling silver comes to mind.

Gray is always a hot color. With the current aforementioned literary trends being such that they are, fall 2012 is just a great time for men to try this hue out. From morning to night and office to dinner with your wife, girlfriend, or potential lady, gray can make it through the entire day looking fresh and appropriate.
