What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Light Blue Blouse

The best bottom colours to wear with a light blue blouse are navy, black and charcoal. Light blue against navy is a tonal classic; it reads polished without trying. Grey, white, cream and olive also work. Avoid light blue: wide-leg jeans are more casual than a blouse, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: all-over light blue is a statement; it needs confident styling and simple accessories.
