Guide

Hi-vis jackets that meet safety standards use fluorescent yellow, orange, or red with reflective strips, though workplaces may add bright shades.

Black, brown, tan, or grey belts all match grey jeans when they echo your shoes and keep a clear contrast with the denim.

Neutral shades like black, navy, charcoal grey, taupe and beige backpacks blend with almost any outfit, season and setting.

Soft neutrals, cool greys and earthy tones suit blonde hair beanies best; match shade and undertone for colour that flatters your face.

A brown or tan leather belt is the safest match for blue jeans, with black, grey, and rich colours working when the shoes and outfit agree.

The safest belt colour with a blue suit is one that matches your shoe colour and leather finish.

The safest belt colours with beige chinos are mid-brown, tan, or cognac leather, matched closely to your shoe colour and overall outfit formality.

Black, brown, tan, white, grey, and burgundy boots all work with blue jeans when you match depth of colour to denim wash and outfit mood.

Grey trousers work best with navy, black, charcoal, tan, and rich earth-tone blazers, chosen to match the shade of grey and the dress code.

White shoes pair best with a light or mid-brown belt that matches the outfit’s vibe, with white or black belts reserved for narrow, specific looks.
