What trouser combination is good?

It is Zenga fabric with a sheen/shiny thing going on (that isn't showing in the picture too well) Would it work with white AX casual pants or navy blue trousers? Couldn't figure out how to upload a photo so here is a link of it: http://s8.postimage.org/w6eab2xgl/20120914_201401.jpg

It also appears to be fused and to be to be degrading which makes it unattractive. Suit coats do not make sports coats.

Thank you for the replies, fused yes , degrading a lil, old style: yes courtesy of the stubborn 75 year old Italian tailor maybe off to a foreign country it goes, which the person who receives it may decide to burn there lol, but probably somebody will just wear it. Question was which colour to match trousers with? I was messing around with a brownish trousers and seemed okay. Even if it is not this jacket, I have CK blazer that is the same colour as the photo without the sheen, what trousers do you generally match grey coats with?
