What color shirt would go with black dress slacks for a male?

Question

I am asking because we are going to a wedding and I would like to have a nice colored shirt that looks nice with out a tie. I am far from color blind. However, I am not a male.

Answer 1

The best thing about black slacks is that any color goes with them!! Unless he is wearing a tie, white and dark blue should be out. Without a tie, lavender, pink, light blue, green, yellow, light orange - anything really ...

Answer 2

Well everything will work with the Black Slacks, but here is a list of what looks good with it:

1) French Blue
2) Burgundy
3) A deeper Gold color

And if he is wearing a tie make sure it has a little of the shirt color in it to make it match.

Answer 3

Dark royal blue looks best with black pants, and a black suit for that matter.

Why isnt he wearing a tie? Unless you know that the wedding is really informal, he should wear a tie.

Answer 4

Bright jewel tones, like ruby red, emerald green, topaz yellow, sapphire blue, amethyst purple.
OR
Pastels such as pink, mint, banana yellow, baby blue, or lavender.
Add a tie with the color of the shirt and some black in it.
I would avoid black, gray, or white shirt.[ to avoid confusion with the wedding party.]

Answer 5

Any color goes well with black pants except black. It really depends on the season. If it's something he'll wear right now, then it needs to be a light, summery color....like a light blue.

Answer 6

French Blue

Answer 7

I would say a crisp blue! Try going to to Dillards and looking at the dress shirts section under men! It will show you shirts and the models have on black pants!

Here's an idea of what I'm talking about!
or
something with a simple pinstripe would look really nice also! The pinstripe dresses it up a bit without the necessity of a tie!

Answer 8

If he is light coloring then something light color.Now if he has a dark complection then go for darker colors. I would stay away from white with black pants (too much like the staff)
Enjoy and have fun

Answer 9

The beauty of black is that it compliments EVERY other color.

Just be careful putting a black shirt with it, as there are different hues of black (blue-based, red-based, etc).

Answer 10

Any colour dress shirt, EXCEPT black. For a wedding, a tie and jacket would be appropriate.
