Hi,this is my first post here.I am male,20 years old.

I have attached 2 pictures with this post.Image 1 is of higher quality than image 2.Strange thing in the picture is that the violet color looking stripes are actually maroon color in real.In picture they look different.

Is it okay to wear this t-shirt with dark blue jeans or light blue jeans or normal(faded in front) blue jeans?Will it have clashes with colors or look bad?

That's an interesting shirt, probably not in a good way. (A prominent logo and more than 3 clearly different colors in one item tend to be problems.)

If chinos/khakis or corduroys, dark brown would be best, to serve as a background. Not an unusual color (for pants) such as white or maroon and not olive, which would be too much green.
If jeans, medium blue would be best, followed by dark blue (rather formal compared to the shirt). Light blue might fight with the shirt for attention.

If you're fine leaving the house with that then the pants should be the least of your concerns.

i dont think the shirt looks bad except for the logo embroidery. i would wear something neutral so as not to compete with the busy shirt.

out of curiosity, who makes it?

Baggy balloon pants with flared bell bottoms, with zig zag pink and yellow pattern and large polka dots in orange would complement that t-shirt very well.

I'd say something in a lighter color: chinos or light blue jeans.

You do realize those aren't t-shirts?

the problem my friend is your choice of polos - not the trousers. No trousers could possibly make even your second choice look good. if you want to dress like an adult, get these in a solid block color - either while, light blue or pink for the day or navy, black or red for the night. Then pair it with chinos or mid-gray trousers in the day and jeans in the night. The horizontal stripes and the multitude of colours is just not attractive.
