What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Navy Quarter-Zip Sweater

The best bottom colours to wear with a navy quarter-zip sweater are khaki, olive and grey. Navy and khaki is one of the most dependable casual combinations. White, light blue, brown and beige also work. Be careful with charcoal: dress trousers are dressier than a quarter-zip sweater, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: navy and charcoal are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
