If I were to wear a black v-neck sweater, with a white/light grey collared shirt underneath, what color pants should I wear?
I was thinking maybe light beige or grey, but then, I'm usually clueless about matching and whatnot

I don't know. Matching navy with black ofr anything other than shoes seems tacky. Brown with black? Just as tacky. I would say either black, grey, or white.

No it can't.

You can wear gray pants with your black sweater. With black shoes. That's it.

Navy with black is fine.

Brown with black on the other hand, is usually as bad you say.

But people mentioned grey without mentioning shades so it pretty much takes care of charcoal.

Gotta agree. Don't do blue or brown...
