which basic colours for trousers (fall/winter)

[Willem]

I want to buy some new pants for fall and winter.
Which colours will be fine and easy to match with shirts?

You can't go wrong with darker colors.
Blue, grey, charcoal, dark brown and ..... black.
Corduroy, flannels (in wool) are quite nice in the fall/winter.

All shades of grey and brown and some dark greens. Stay away from black, and opt for charcoal instead. I particularly like earth tones and wear tan, rust, olive, and grays. Cords and flannels work especially well in these colors.

I think medium grey is the most useful. I have darker grey/charcoal pants, but find that I rarely select them.

Five pairs or ten?

I am a sucker for light gray double forward pleat flannels for fall and winter.

Four pairs of medium grey, two pairs of dark grey.

Same cloth for all?

+1. Still looking for that perfect pair.

Of course. Who do you take me for?

Red and green plaids, white, pumpkin, brick, all shades of grey and brown.

All by signor Ambrosi?

So, no black trousers? I've got black (Boss, linen) on today with a pink pol (RL). I used to wear all black. Now I am on this forum and bought some other clothes, I am in doubt whether I feel happy today in these clothes. Think my black trousers must go.

 

[Manton]

For me, the three essentials are medium gray flannel, olive cords, and brown cavalry twill. Once I had those, I went in a lot of different directions. No plaids as yet.
