Pink trousers
I have been considering getting a pair of pink trousers at Oliver Brown, Land's End, or Orvis. My question is, what do you wear with them? I think a white or blue OCBD would look good, but I am at a loss when it comes to footwear. I'm thinking boat shoes, but surely there must be alternatives. Suede loafers come to mind. My Sargent Kingstons might do the trick. Any other suggestions? What do you chaps wear with your pink trousers?

Re: Pink trousers
I'll bite. Although I only have pink oxford shorts. Shirt subdued, as you have done.
I suppose you could wear canvas deck shoes in blue or white, no? Or some penny loafers?
Would be nice along the coast for these last few weeks.

Re: Pink trousers
I have a couple of pairs: one a pink chino and one a seersucker. I find that white goes less well for a shirt than you would think unless you have more going on. Blue is terrific. With a blue blazer, a white OCBD is perfect. I wear Jack Purcells, penny loafers or flexible Italian tassel loafers. To me pink pants are one of the joys of summer.

Re: Pink trousers
Pink/faded red trousers are great in the summer. I must admit I usually wear ancient navy Birkenstocks and a navy cotton belt with mine…
Cheapo suede driving mocs in tan or navy too.
White and pink makes me look too washed-out, so I go for navy on top: navy polo, navy shirt with a white butcher stripe, navy guernsey sweater, navy blazer, whatever.

Navy & Pink - Very nice combo!

Re: Pink trousers
Thanks for all the suggestions.
What colour socks to wear with pink pants?

Re: Pink trousers
I think boat shoes are almost costumey in a way. Esp. with pink trou. But, that said, I might invest in the Russell Moccs. My wife was even thinking of reviving the boat shoe in haut-fashion cosmo circles, so there you have it.
I think you can't go wrong with the brown or black weejun, by the way.
