Men’s Trouser Combination Guide

Quick answer: White, beige, cream, navy, grey, black and denim are the most useful bottoms for men because they pair easily with shirts and kurtas.

Best trousers for shirts

• White shirt: black, navy, beige, grey or denim.
• Blue shirt: beige, grey, navy, black or denim.
• Black shirt: black, beige, charcoal, cream or dark denim.
• Brown shirt: beige, cream, navy, black or denim.
• Printed shirt: plain trousers or denim.

Best bottoms for kurtas

White and cream pyjamas are safest. Beige trousers create an Indo-western look. Dark trousers can work with ivory, maroon, black or navy kurtas for evening events.

How to avoid outfit mismatch?

Keep one part of the outfit simple. If the shirt or kurta has strong print, embroidery or colour, choose plain bottoms.
