We love it when they do the work for us: Banana Republic has pulled together outfits for suit-only and business casual work environments. Many of the looks include gray trousers paired with their recommended cool hues of blue and lavender. But depending on the shade and texture, gray can go with just about any color -- and we applaud easy to work with trends. Finish off the gray with black or dark cherry shoes and you’re ready to take on the workweek.
