The gray T-shirt is a top with depth, showing various expressions depending on the tone!
Located between the achromatic colors white and black, gray T-shirts have an elegant, clean look when the whiteness increases and a cool, urban look when the blackness increases, and the depth of expression that can be created by shades of gray is appealing. There are also plain “solid gray” and marbled “wooden gray” variations, in which darker and lighter colors are mixed together. By carefully evaluating the subtle expressions of gray T-shirts and incorporating them into your coordination, your styling will look much more fashionable.
Dressing Point (1): “Refresh the look of your coordination by choosing a wooden gray T-shirt.
Mokuro-gray T-shirts are characterized by their calm elegance and unique nuance. Generally speaking, T-shirts with a distinctive wooden look tend to give a sporty and casual impression. As shown in the snapshot below, this T-shirt is perfect for wearing with slacks and sneakers in a good casual outfit that doesn’t look too formal.
Wear with a dark gray T-shirt to accentuate the urban look.
The gray T-shirt is in between the lightest white and the darkest black, with an infinite range of lightness. Because of its wide range of tones, the usual technique is to control the impression by its shade. Light gray is the best choice for creating an elegant and clean impression, while dark gray and charcoal gray are the best choices for an urban and cool impression. In particular, dark gray and charcoal gray, which have a strong black tinge, not only create a cool impression, but also have the advantage of not showing sweat stains, so they are recommended for those who want to wear gray T-shirts in the summer even if they sweat a lot.
