T-shirts are a wardrobe staple that are suitable for everything from casual to dressy outfits. Gray is a neutral color that works perfectly for layering and enhancing other colors. The shape of a v-neck shirt allows you to wear a variety of styles and necklines under the shirt. Wearing something under a gray v-necked t-shirt updates the look of a plain shirt and offers the chance to express your own style.

Wearing more than one t-shirt at a time offers warmth, comfort and ensures there will be less wear and tear on the outer shirt. You can wear a t-shirt in the same style as your gray t-shirt ,but in a different color to provide contrast, or layer a crew-neck T-shirt under the gray to really show off the color contrast. Wear two different shades of gray for a simple, understated look, or make the gray pop by layering a red or jewel-toned t-shirt underneath.

Camisoles

A camisole under your t-shirt will provide extra coverage without the bulk of a shirt, particularly if the cut of your v-neck is very deep. Choose a camisole with a lace border or inset for a soft look. A silky or light fabric will provide a contrast in textures. Choose a pastel color, such as pink or lilac, to further the feminine appeal. A plain black camisole under your gray shirt provides a minimalist look, especially if you layer a plain blazer over your shirts.

Tank Tops

If you want a little more coverage than a camisole provides, a tank top is your answer. A tank top will also provide a splash of color and versatility with textures and styles, but the straps are more substantial. If you wear one under a thin or fitted t-shirt, you may want to add a jacket or sweater over everything to hide the straps showing through. Tank tops with embroidery at the neckline add visual interest to your outfit.

Button-up Shirts

For a fresh update on the layered sweater look, wear a button-up shirt with a collar underneath your gray t-shirt. Wear a t-shirt with a heavier cotton weave to stand up to the shirt underneath without bunching up. For a fun look, wear a plaid or patterned shirt in bright colors. To stick to classic lines, a white button-up shirt under gray is a timeless combination. Choose a button-up shirt with long sleeves and French cuffs for contrast with the casual lines of the t-shirt.
