Shirts - navy polo shirt, light blue polo shirt, blue oxford-cloth shirt with button-down collar, sky blue or navy linen shirt and so on and so on. I wear my red shorts a lot with a blue-and-white horizontally-striped polo shirt with a shirt-style collar (rather than the usual ribbed collar that polo shirts commonly have).

Belts - I tend to wear mine with a ribbon belt or with a navy woven belt with suede around the buckle area.

Shoes - Yes, navy boat/deck shoes are my favourite option but they also look good with a pair of canvas sandshoes in either white, stone or navy, or with a pair of plain leather sneakers either in leather or suede from somewhere like Common Projects or similar.

Nantucket red shorts might not be quite as versatile as the usual beige/stone chino shorts, but you can wear them with pretty much anything in different shades of blue and look good.

Brown shoes would look bad with a brown belt? No
.
Brown belt would look bad with reds? Possible in theory, but not actually the case.

With red shorts: white or navy polo. White or light blue ocbd, sleeves rolled up. Seersucker shirt. Tan or blue boat shoes. Loafers. Woven, ribbon, or surcingle belt in a neutral.
