What colour/sort of trousers to go with black shirt/black tie???

[FAQ]

DS1 wants to wear a shirt and tie for DS3's Christening.....DS2 wasn't bothered, but I know if he has something different he'll be upset on the day.

So today I bought \link{http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k12/Gwenick/?action=view&current=25102008352.jpg \2 of these} (not a very good picture sorry).

It's got thick(ish) darker black stripes on it.

Now I'm stuck though - I'm not sure what trousers they should wear with it. The original plan was that I'd buy them matching shirt and tie then DS1 would wear is dark blue/navy school trousers, and DS2 his light(ish) grey ones.......

[FAQ]

try again

[differentWitch]

khaki/ beige?

[FAQ]

oh - and they'll both be wearing their black school shoes

[nancy75]

dark grey would probably be best, black trousers always look shiney

[FAQ]

oh and DS3 will be wearing this little outfit - it's black pinstripe the trouers and waistcoat

[FAQ]

ok so one vote for dark grey, another for khaki/beige......

Could i get away with the mid grey (not really light) and dark/navy ones mentioned above?

[differentWitch]

could you get trousers to match ds2 for ds1?

[FAQ]

dW - I may be able to - got them from Adams so they may have some in his size. Do you reckon dark/navy blue would be ok it's these that he's got.

My children are going to look very poncy for the Christening but I don't care

[FAQ]

oh sorry - just seen you mean the other way round - DS1 has the trousers I've linked to.

Not sure I could get DS2's to match for DS1 as I got them from a small stall on the market, they have a shop in the next town, but they rarely stock the same thing once it's sold out, it's sold out (and I bought his last 4 pairs of grey ones in DS2's size).

[differentWitch]

ah, right.

Im going town in the week so ill see if they have navy instock for DS2 if you want. They did have school jumpers etc in and im pretty sure they had trousers in too.

[FAQ]

lol - thanks - I think I may have got mixed up though - think dw was suggesting the grey trousers to get for DS1.....

[FAQ]

ok - before Shelleylou goes off to check for grey trouers for me - can I have a difinitive answer please

Navy or Grey/Silver trousers with the shirt and tie and black shoes???

[FAQ]

so not even grey/silver? Any suggestion where I could buy some nice (cheap) light coloured ones?? Online would be ok - as long as I can be guaranteed delivery before the 23rd November (1 week before the Christening......don't want to spend the week worrying that they're not with me)

[FAQ]

unfortunately the next nearest thing they have to smart is these jeans from Pumpkin Patch.........but I know that jeans and shirt/tie are a no no lol
