What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Burgundy T-Shirt

The best bottom colours to wear with a burgundy t-shirt are navy, grey and khaki. Burgundy adds depth to navy without shouting; common in autumn tailoring. Beige, white, cream and black also work. Be careful with brown and burgundy: chinos are dressier than a t-shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: brown is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
