What to wear with grey cardigan?

[cjmorris21]

I was thinking tonight I wanted to dress up my grey cardigan and wear a white button down shirt underneath with some slacks. What color slacks and shoes would you all recommend? I would like to maybe go with a light tan pair of wool slacks but I am stuck on what color shoes to wear. Any help would be appreciated.

possibly some black slim fit trousers? Is the cardigan fitted, or more of a loose fit? are you planning on wearing a tie?

Brown, chestnut, or cordovan shoes. For pants, I'd lean toward brown or tan cords (but really, you could do a variety of colors). I've seen grey cardigans worn well with darker grey trousers. It sounds potentially monotonous, but paired with a nice blue shirt and brown tie, it could look really sharp. I'd stay away from the black pants.

I have a gray cardigan and wear dark charcoal flannels, beige cords, or khakis with a white or blue OCBD.

Yes; more info on the fit. Is it buttoned or zip-up? Grey is quite neutral you could go monochrome with darker grey trousers. Alternatively, brown or navy. Might even try chalk stripe trousers. I also like the suggestion of brown shoes...
