I have a navy blazer with brass buttons and brown Chelsea boots. What chino trousers would go with it: sand, navy, sky blue, charcol, grey, terracotta or mauve?

I’d avoid any blue, navy or otherwise.

The rest are worth considering but it would be nice to see pics.

What Phileas said

Also, no matter which colour you end up choosing, don’t buy those M&S chinos.

I would also avoid grey. Something about that color in a chino just doesn't look quite right, at least to my eye. If you are considering mauve, you should also look at nantucket red. Not sure about the boots either. Need to see a photo.

So what other brand around the same price would you advise?

Nothing against M&S - it’s just that those chinos are too skinny. Go for their regular fit or if you really want something slimmer, the slim fit version. The skinny fit chinos don’t match the blazer

Interesting, I'm very slim anyway, so even the skinny chinos are loose on me.

If you’re very skinny the question is do you want your clothes to accentuate that? Also there should be a balance between top and bottom. If your blazer is closer to a traditional fit then skinny trousers look discordant.
