What color shirts are safe to wear with pink chinos? I was told white was the only safe color to wear. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again..

Pink, did you loose a dare? No offense, I have no problem with salmon colored shirts, but chinos. And by the way, they are never pink, they are salmon on a man.

If you're already wearing pink pants, I don't think now is the time to start worrying about being ostentatious.

White would be most suitable I think.

Light blue and light beige (not light yellow) might work also but the combination of pastels might make one look like one's in nursery.

Or cotton candy.

I wore a light blue shirt with pink pants just last Saturday. I have no idea why you'd restrict yourself to just white. Who gave you this idea?

As a fellow New Englander, I too have a pair of Nantucket Red (aka pink) chinos, and as the weather warms up I'm excited to start wearing them again.

I wear them with white button downs, and white or black polo shirts. I tried light blue, but felt the end result looked a little too colorful and cartoon like.

I work in a department store and asked one of the people who dress the display models and he told me light blue.
