Different ways to style a simple pair of grey trousers
Grey is a fairly neutral shade that can work with a variety of colours and styles, whether you want to be formal or casual. As such, a pair of grey trousers can be a valuable and versatile addition to your wardrobe. Still, you do not want your outfits to become dull or repetitive, so you still want to change up the way you wear your grey trousers.

Jacket
Navy is a particularly classic colour to wear with grey, though deep red can
also work. You could also try a check pattern, though not too bold. Any of
these combinations will give you a nice balance of smart and stylish, whilst
black will take you over the edge into formal. Depending on your style of
shirt, you could try an unstructured blazer or a chore jacket with your
trousers, or even a leather bomber if you are heading out on the town.
Jumper
In the winter, a grey roll neck can be a practical and stylish companion to
your grey trousers and navy jacket. With your grey trousers providing a note of
formality, a less formal pastel sweatshirt will not look out of place if you
want to avoid a full jumper. In some cases, a cardigan can bridge the gap
between jumper and blazer.

Shirt
In the summer, a Cuban collar shirt can provide a cool and trendy addition to
your outfit. As you are wearing plain trousers, a floral print shirt will not
look out of place, but you could also choose block colours. It can be worn on a
casual occasion, but adding a blazer can make it smart enough for a summer
wedding.
You can wear any colour with grey, but other options include a plain
white oxford shirt (perhaps with a simple tie) or a less restrictive but
equally smart white collarless grandad shirt. You could also tuck in a plain
t-shirt under your chore jacket. A look at the Farah shirts at https://www.ejmenswear.com/men/farah shows the range of styles available.
Shoes
If you are dressing more casually, trainers (preferably white and with a low
enough ankle to show off your socks) or lace up boots are more than suitable,
whilst a more formal affair could involve anything from penny loafers to Derby
shoes (as long as they are polished).
