Just picked up some HY light grey flannels and now trying to maximize their use.
besides the standard light blue shirt and navy blazer, what are good things to pair with these pants.
Pics would be great.
Thanks a lot guys.
heres the color btw:

They are very nice!. I would pair them with a green jacket. It is hard to find the right shade of green but very rewarding once you do. Maybe a light cashmere and linen mix?

Anything, more or less. Navy turtleneck, brown tweed, dark gray tweed, blue tweed, green tweed...

The color just shouldn't be too light.

I have a suit this shade of very light gray. I find it a bit hard to work with as most menswear items run in the darker range. But I really like the color none the less.

Most colors in general can work with gray - blues, tans, greens, etc. f you have any jackets with a light gray window pane or gray glen check jackets/ties/squares all will work well.

The trick is to have some elements, other than just a shirt, that are light enough to pull it all together.

Beige would look nice with that as well - think Brunello Cucinelli colours...
