What Colour Tops to Wear with Beige Dress Trousers

The best top colours to wear with beige dress trousers are navy, black and white. Two neutrals with clear contrast: beige and navy always sit well together. Cream, grey, brown and camel also work. Be careful with beige: a linen shirt is more casual than dress trousers, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tonal beige works when the pieces differ in texture or shade.
