What Colour Tops to Wear with Beige Shorts

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