What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Pink Dress Shirt

The best bottom colours to wear with a pink dress shirt are black and charcoal. Black is a neutral, so it lets pink be the accent without clashing. Grey, brown, navy and cream also work. Be careful with white and burgundy: chinos are more casual than a dress shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: white is a neutral, so it lets pink be the accent without clashing.
