Grey is a neutral, four-season colour, which is why a grey dress is necessary for your wardrobe. But the thing is, grey isn’t the easiest colour to style because it can easily become boring if you pair it with the wrong colours.
If you manage to style it correctly, you’ll find that the colour grey actually goes with many colours and different prints.
If you want to know what colour hijab to wear with a grey dress, today is your lucky day! Here’s a list of all the colours you can try, along with some printed scarves that you can consider.
What Colour Hijab to Wear With Grey Dress?
Grey is a cool colour, which means it pairs well with warm colours and jewel tones. Here’s a list of the best hijab colours to go with a grey dress:
Purple
A pairing of purple and grey creates a two-tone colour palette that steals the eye! When used tastefully, the colour purple can be a great match for a grey dress, although both colours aren’t complementary.
For a light grey dress, opt for a deep purple shade that brings out your skin tone. And it’s better not to add other colours to your outfit to keep the focus on your hijab. You can style the dress with black boots or heels and wear subtle silver accessories.
This pairing looks especially good on girls with dark skin tones, but if you have fair skin, you can opt for a lighter shade of purple and rock the same pairing.
Cranberry Red
If you think grey is boring, you probably didn’t try wearing it with cranberry red before. Granted, the deep red shade looks good on any colour and brings life to any outfit, but it looks especially captivating with grey.
Opt for a shade close to ruby red, and style the look with some silver accessories and a pair of silver or black shoes. The deep red here acts as an accent colour, so you wouldn’t want to add another colour alongside it.
Pink
Pink and grey create such a soft, delicate pairing that’s every bit as powerful as it is soft. The pairing is ideal for formal gatherings and office visits because they’re professional and elegant, yet subtle.
If you’re going to a work-related gathering, you can pair your grey dress with a soft pink hijab, and keep the shoes and purse black for a balanced look.
On the other hand, if you’re going on a casual outing, you can go adventurous and wear a brighter shade of pink, like Fuschia or hot pink.
Tan
Tan is basically the pale version of brown, and for some reason, it goes really well with grey. Maybe it’s because both colours are on the opposite side of the spectrum, and maybe because both are neutral colours.
In all cases, you can pair your grey dress with a tan hijab, especially in the autumn or winter. Style the look with some gold accessories, and maybe a brown leather belt.
Royal Blue
Grey seems to go pretty well with jewel tones, so royal blue or sapphire may be a great match for your grey dress. Depending on the grey shade you’re rocking, you may find a blue hijab for it.
If you’re wearing a light grey dress, a bright hijab in a royal blue shade will look stunning. The pairing will look especially good on girls with warm undertones because the outfit is all about cool colours.

If you’re wearing a darker shade of grey, you can go for a darker blue shade, like sapphire or navy blue.
Style this outfit with silver accessories to avoid breaking the cool aura with gold accessories.
Printed Emma Scarves to Go With Your Grey Dress
Printed scarves have a different charm because they bring your entire outfit together. They make it so much easier to choose your purse and shoes because they mostly contain more than one colour.
Here’s a list of printed Emma scarves that’ll go well with your grey dress:
Liana
Liana features a delicate floral pattern with yellow flowers and gray accents on a pale background. The pale base color of the hijab would complement a grey dress, and the yellow floral accents in the hijab would add a cheerful pop of color, preventing the overall look from appearing too monochromatic or dull.
Besides, the hijab only features neutral colours, which makes it easier to style the look.
Zeina
One of Emma’s latest productions, Zeina is a unique floral scarf that features deep colours, including brown, grey, and tan.
You can style Zeina with a dark grey dress; it’d look especially good on girls with dark skin tones because its deep shades will compliment their undertones.
Because the scarf has some brown bits, you can style the dress with a brown leather coat in the winter. And in the summer, you can wear a brown belt to create harmony.
River Flow
River Flow features a light background with a delicate floral pattern in muted green, gray, and pink tones. It also has a black trim along the edge that frames the face, bringing out its features.
The hijab is perfect for a grey dress, thanks to its muted tones and subtle pop of colour. If you’re going to a formal gathering or a night outing, this is your go-to EMMA hijab.
Daffodil Whispers
Daffodil Whispers has a white base with a subtle pattern featuring pale green, light purple, and golden accents.
The design appears to have a watercolor-like quality, with soft, flowing lines and gentle color transitions. Its light colors will contrast nicely with a grey dress, creating a fresh yet soft look.
True Blessing
True Blessing blends both warm and cool tones in a sophisticated, elegant design. The scarf features grey and gold tones with some white bits to balance out the palette. It’d be a pretty good match for a white or grey dress.
You can also style it with either gold or silver accessories because it has bits of both colours.
The Final Verdict
So, what colour hijab to wear with a grey dress?
Grey goes well with deep colours and jewel tones, like royal blue, purple, and deep red. You can also style your grey dress with a printed Emma scarf from the list above. Why don’t you try and show us your outfit in the comments?
