Best colour shirt for a Grey suit?

CokeyBear

What do you guys think the best colour shirt to pair with a grey suit is? I'll be wearing a grey suit, black shoes and a black tie. Right now I'm thinking light blue or light pink, you guys got any recommendations?
Cheers.

Pale yellow looks really good with a grey suit, if it suits your skin tone. Some purples and lavender look very well too.

Getting there

Light pink and light yellow Id be going for!

Depends on the look your going for. My other half just got a pale grey suit in Bertoni & he put a lilac shirt with it, looks fab. You could also put a black shirt with it, would look very smart, but depends on the occasion.

Light blue looks amazing or purple/lilac. I`m partial to colourful stripes on men thou.

I'd agree with the above posts but you'll have to reconsider the tie colour,
I'd go with a patterned/textured tie with a similiar (but not the same) shade of colour as the shirt, assuming it's a solid shirt.

None of the above. White shirt is the only colour that goes with a grey suit imo

If it's a pale Grey suit I'd go with a black or light pink shirt.;)

Lots of coloured shirts go with a gray suit, but very few with a gray suit AND black tie. Purple/lilac looks great with either a gray or purple coloured tie. If you're dead set on the black tie, i'd go with a white, a black or a gray. Possibly a red, but it'd have to be the right red...

Ok thanks everyone for the help. What do you guys think about this shirt / tie combo (the pink shirt + tie) http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/men/shirts/17/5?extra=sch&n=men&pid=932-845 ?

The suit is very similar to this in color http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/men/tailoring/6/1?extra=sch&n=mens&pid=932-239

Lovely Cokeybear!

Quite literally any pale coloured shirt will go with a grey suit.

Yes.

Any!

The shirt and tie combo to which you link will probably not work with a grey suit. The shirt is fine but working two grey items is not easy.

Go with a plain navy tie (properly navy, not dark blue) or dark navy with a polka dot.

The original and still the best.
