gray shirts

I'll have to add to the dissent: I put gray shirts in the same company as khaki socks.

I have a grey shirt, but it's probably one of my least-worn.

Still, occasionally it works. The risk, as mentioned upthread, is that it looks "dingy". A brighter tie or bold suit helps minimise that.

I'm thinking in summer, I might pair it with a tan or cream jacket and see how that goes.

Oh God. Do you wear them all together? My mind refuses to register the combination.

Interesting, I put them in the same company as DB windowpane suits.

Is there some kind of conspiracy going on here???

I have a grey shirt with white, vertical stripes, which i believe are surrounded on either side by thinner, darker grey stripes. I usually pair it with a solid pink tie. I get compliments on this shirt every time I wear it. It is also one of my best fitting shirts, I love it.

Hmm, no love for grey... I haven't tried wearing one myself but I thought grey shirts looked sharp in photos.

So DB windowpanes are for night time, especially in city environments where everything is dark anyway and they can fit in nicely with the black and white marble/chrome and glass of the more modern upscale bar/lounge/restaurant?

I'm not a fan of gray shirts. I've owned them in the past but would not buy or wear one again.

I have a shirt with gray and light blue stripes, but I haven't worn it and probably never will. I wouldn't choose to wear solid light gray, and the idea of a dark gray shirt makes me slightly ill, just as dark blue does.
