  9. burgundychinos
    Works
    Cream is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
  10. light bluejeans
    Works
    Cream is a neutral, so it lets light blue be the accent without clashing.
  11. sagelinen pants
    Works
    Cream is a neutral, so it lets sage be the accent without clashing.
  12. charcoaldress trousers
    Works
    Dress trousers are dressier than a cardigan, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: two neutrals with clear contrast: cream and charcoal always sit well together.
  13. whitelinen pants, jeans, chinos, wide-leg pants
    Works
    Cream and white are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
  14. creamwide-leg pants, pleated trousers, linen pants
    Works
    Head-to-toe cream is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
