Grey slim trousers, but you could go with black as well if you're comfortable rocking all black

In before the flames start...

Black shirts go well with grey or dark blue denim. Black shirt with a grey suit is a favourite combination of mine (as WAYWRN attests).

I had the same thought about the flames. This could get ugly.

I agree with you on the denim. If you're going to wear a black shirt it's probably the best option. I don't agree with the suit. I'm not a fan of shirts that are darker than the suit.

Grey is a great color to pair with black and you will want them to be slim to go with the shirt.

What a silly question: the grey-green of the fascist militia's uniform!

Gray--if you must. Black shirts are almost always a bad idea.

+1. I'm not a fan of black shirts, but I'd also suggest gray.
