Pantone announced Ultimate Gray and Illuminating as 2021's colors of the year. Now, they're taking over our wardrobes.

Gray is one of the most versatile colors in the world and looks great when paired with various pops of color. For 2021, the color has been teamed up with yellow by <a href="https://www.lofficielmonaco.com/fashion/main-colors-of-the-2021" target="_blank">Pantone</a>, which has dubbed Ultimate Gray and Illuminating as the colors of the year.

If you are hesitant to try yellow, start with more subtle pieces like a yellow hat or handbag, as seen at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/donatella-versace-curvy-models-milan-fashion-precious-lee-jill-kortleve-naomi-campbell" target="_blank">Versace</a>, Balmain, Acne Studios, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/exclusive-salvatore-ferragamo-spring-summer-2021-hitchcock-campaign-paul-andrew-luca-guadagnino" target="_blank">Salvatore Ferragamo</a>, <a href="https://lofficielbaltics.com/en/fashion-week/jacquemus-spring-summer-2021" target="_blank">Jacquemus</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fendi-spring-summer-2021-haute-couture" target="_blank">Fendi</a> for Spring/Summer 2021.

It&rsquo;s recommended to wear yellow closer to the face as it gives the skin radiance and vitality. However, it&rsquo;s important to find the right shade of yellow for your skin tone, so test a few shades before committing.

Combinations of light gray and lemon, created with soft color transitions when there are no bright contrasts, will look more subtle. You will create a bolder image with combinations of darker gray and warm honey or banana yellow, as the shades will be more contrasting and the rich yellow will become an eye-catching detail.

Keep in mind that gray can be replaced by silver and yellow by gold. If the combination of gray and yellow lacks coziness or loses its intensity, add a range of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/brown-color-trend-instagram-style" target="_blank">brown</a> and cream tones.

Yellow and black is also a bold combination, but can look a bit comical if not done carefully. Harmonize the contrasting colors with more subdued tones like butter yellow, milk foam white, cream, khaki, brown shades, gray-blue, and other gray tones.

To make gray and yellow more expressive, try to choose one color but patterned clothes, such as checkered, dotted fabric, or the skin effect of snakes or crocodiles. Pay attention to different clothing textures, they will also give vitality to the combination.
