What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Sage T-Shirt

The best bottom colours to wear with a sage t-shirt are black, white and beige. Black is a neutral, so it lets sage be the accent without clashing. Cream, navy, khaki and olive also work. Be careful with burgundy: chinos are dressier than a t-shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: sage and burgundy can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit.
