What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Dark Brown Leather Jacket

The best bottom colours to wear with a dark brown leather jacket are navy, khaki and grey. Dark brown with navy is a tailoring staple; the warm brown keeps navy from looking severe. Beige, white, denim blue and cream also work. Be careful with charcoal: dress trousers are dressier than a leather jacket, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: dark brown and charcoal are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
