I found a suit I would like to purchase however, finding the right color dress shirts to go with it has been problematic. So I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on what colors work best with gray suits.
TIA.

Light or Dark Grey??
You can never go wrong with a white shirt. Classic and uber-professional.Quote:

1. NEVER buy anything yellow unless it's a Lamborghini.
2. White
3. Blue
4. Purple works great with a lighter shade of grey. Pink works too. (Both of those should probably be paired with a darker colored tie of the same color or else you'll end up looking like a clown.)
homey's right, cant go wrong with a white shirt, or a lighter shade of gray will work as wellQuote:

white, or light blue
classic white or french blues are sharp.
Nice choice with the conservative, classic-gray, pin stripe
I'm with homey.
remember who asked........
Pink is a given.

I'm assuming, but the suit might actually be a chalk stripe suit.
Also, if youre buying off the rack, no matter how 'well' it fits, spend a couple extra bucks and go to a nice tailor and have it fitted. The chicks will appreciate that. YWIA!
blue
purple
white
