What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Beige Linen Shirt

The best bottom colours to wear with a beige linen shirt are olive, black and navy. Two neutrals with clear contrast: beige and olive always sit well together. Denim blue, white, brown and grey also work. Be careful with light blue: light blue is cool and bright against warm beige; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
