Picked up a cotton suit for the summer in Barcelona and was wondering what shirts / ties / shoes go best with the suit. It's very light in color almost white in a sense with a slight shine (will post pics if I get a chance later).

I think a pink shirt with a navy blue knit tie and tan shoes, with a suit that light I don't think that you could go dark on the shirt or shoes. You could also wear a pale blue shirt or a white shirt with it.

Calling Master Claster and his enviable stash of pics for example.

(Agree with the above posts, white, light blue, china blue shirts, maybe Bengal stripe or butcher stripe, and tan to walnut shoes. Navy grenadine tie).

I think a white shirt, with a light blue tie works quite well.

Light grey gives you a lot of options really, a pale blue shirt with white collar works, a light pink colour, pink shirt with black tie, white shirt and a paler shade of red tie.

There are a lot of possibilities.
