Help for my DP - What colours go with brown trousers and tan/ brown shoes?

[LoveMyGirls]

Dp Has brought brown shoes and trousers and now keeps asking me what colour shirt he can wear - i have no idea, do any of you have an idea?

TIA

pale blue
cream
white
pink

pink was the first colour that sprang to mind.

Has he got the colouring for yellow?

dh often wears pale blue (plain, or subtle check/stripe) with tan/chino type trews and brown shoes when he doesn't need to wear a suit

even green, the list is endless

hmmm green would look a bit like a homebase manager's uniform to me

pistacio green's nice. There are so many shades. Would he wear a pattern?

depends on his colouring

dh wears white, pale blue, pale pink or any of those combinations in stripes - Gap are a v good source of casual and semi-casual striped shirts.
Navy can work if the trorsers are light and chino-y coloured but not if choc brown.

Assume this is sans tie?

He's ginger i should have added!

He always wears a tie, yeh i htink he'd wear a pattern, depends he cant go ott as he is wearing it to work in an office.

Thanks everyone, you are really helping i have no clue!

if ginger then certainly try greens and probably avoid pink

blue v good if he has blue eyes but go carefully if they are green or brown (like mine) as blue can make shadows and wrinkles look much much worse.

Thanks very much, he has hazel eyes so probably best to stick with greens, honestly though green? Green and brown? I really am out of fashion i'd never have put those two together ever. So far he's been wearing a cream shirt with a brown/ goldish tie, brown trousers and tan shoes.

Don't see why he couldn't have stuck to black shoes and trousers, i guess he fancied a change but we're really skint right now and he doesnt own a green shirt so now he's going to have to spend loads of money on a load of new shirts and ties all for the sake of buying brown shoes and trousers. Black goes with everything, never goes out of fashion......... can't you just tell im a jeans and t-shirt type of person, mainly due to the fac t we have small children and I can't afford to be fashionable I also want to be comfortable

lemon

my ds is dark auburn and looks a delight in pink (pale)

really have to disagree on the green shirt thing

think it would ming imho, and can't imagine it looking smart

pale blue perfectly lovely with any colour hair

am going to find some pics to convince you...

ok, can't find any pics online of men in chino and blue shirt combos, but trust me

(otherwise will have to take a pic of dh )

If they are chocolate brown then maybe turquoise-ish blue. Can he wear stone/pale beige? Sorry, I'm just repeating everyone else aren't I?

Theyre not really dark brown actually fairly light and the shoes are definately tan.

I would say a soft purpley heathery sort of colour if he is red headed

humm i htink he's got a couple of purple shirts actually, thats quite a good idea, hadnt thought of that!

I wouls say if he has auburn hair and hazel eyes, then cream, olive-type greens, turquoisey/teal colours or coral/peach tones would be good.

they look fab on redheads (i have one too!)

I love his hair it's gorgeous so many shades and goes different colours in the light, looks fab! I thought our dd2 might be ginger but she's not but she has a lovely shade a mixture of both our colours and shes gorgeous

my sister is ginger and pale pink is lovely on her

dh wears beige chinos and brown shoes a lot and blue and pink are good for shirts. at this time of year he has a few short sleeved checked shirts that work (but please not tucked in with a tie! I have a thing about short sleeved shirts with ties, don't like! mind you dh was spotted wearing socks and sandals yesterday so it's a slipepry slope from here!!)
