What Colour Tops to Wear with Beige Chinos

The best top colours to wear with beige chinos are black, navy and white. Two neutrals with clear contrast: beige and black always sit well together. Grey, cream, olive and brown also work. Be careful with lavender: a dress shirt is dressier than chinos, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: beige is a neutral, so it lets lavender be the accent without clashing.
