What to wear with black slacks?
I have just started, almost from scratch, my style transformation, and when I cleaned out my wardrobe, I found a pair of pretty good quality (98% wool) black slacks. I know grey/charcoal slacks are versatile, but what can one wear with black trousers? What color shirts and sports jackets? I have medium to dark brown hair and pale and slightly ruddy complexion.
For the most part these will also be versatile. They’re just a little more stark than dark gray, so you’ll get more contrast with whatever shirt/jacket/tie you wear.
That being the case, I usually wouldn’t wear a plain white shirt with them. Something with a light pattern will help make the transition a little easier on the eyes.
If you’re wearing them with a jacket you’ll want to stay away from any dark jackets like charcoal gray or deep navy, which will be awkwardly close to the trousers’ black. A medium gray should work well and give a nice neutral base for any shirts and ties you choose.
