Need Opinions. Blue Chinos + Black Cherry GT's = SF Approved? [PICS INSIDE]

I went out with my girlfriend wearing a pair of navy blue chinos that were slightly faded, black cherry gentleman travelers, grey ocbd, and a black sweater. When we gout out of the car and was walking in the dim lighted street, she complemented on what I wore for the night and thought it looked really nice.

But as soon as we stepped out into brighter lighting, she said she takes back what she said because didn't like the navy blue chinos and thought they they didn't match with the black cherry GT's and with my black sweater (she never liked the look of navy blue chinos). We had a little debate and I thought the blue chinos looked okay with the GT's even though they were just a little bit faded.

So what do my fellow SFers here think? Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

(I had to pump up the brightness / contrast a bit on the photos so they would show the color more properly)

Any thoughts from fellow SFers?

The color of the shirt is pretty awful and looks strange untucked. That said, if I were to wear that, the look is much better without the sweater.
The black sweater when added to a gray shirt, blue pants, and brownish/reddish shoes is a mess.
There is definitely room for improvement but at least you're trying.

Thanks for your honest opinion quad.

- I do think the black sweater kind of makes it look weird with all the different colors. What do you think would be a better choice to wear on the outer layer instead of the black sweater?

- I truely thought the pants were fitting okay. They're the urban slim broken in chinos from J Crew. They fit me perfectly at the waist, not sure what else I could do about that.

- What would be a better color ocbd to match with the outfit, and would you have worn it tucked in? (I'm a bit heavy around the mid section)

Sorry, I was originally asking for opinion regarding the color matching of the blue pants working with the black cherry gt's, but asked about the fitment afterwards.

Thanks everyone for your input. I do agree that I should be tucking in my shirt, I'll have to transition myself into doing that as a habit. With the pant fitment, I think maybe the length of the pants is too long, making the extra fabric bunch up instead of hanging freely at the shoe. Or maybe I just need to lose weight or buy better fitting pants.
