Just asking for any ones opinion on this combo and whether it works or not. I am unsure on the light blue trousers. Thanks in advance

I guess I’m thrown off as the slacks look like gray on my phone. What color is the jacket?

I don’t care for the shirt. At least not with that outfit.

Personally not into that combo. Some suggestions:

1. Pants: Try pants in light grey, mid gray, or tan.

2. Shirt: Try a light blue shirt. You can also try shirts with white and blue stripes.

Shirt is too casual for the outfit.
light blue trousers don’t match well with the brown/earth tones on top.

I don't feel there is enough contrast between the shirt and jacket. Go for a light blue shirt for a better look.

I don’t mind that shirt and jacket combo if you’re going for a sort of weekend casual. The colors complement each other. In that case I would consider a pair of selvedge jeans—a newish pair that’s still quite dark.

But if this is meant for office casual, I agree with other posters to ditch that shirt and change the trousers.

The colors go well together but I'm not sure how they're gonna look when you try them. But try another shirt, more casual maybe, a t-shirt could work

The jacket and the shirt go together nicely. Both are pleasant, warm colors.
The trousers are a cold, light blue, and thus not the best fit in my eyes. They'd be much better with a navy blazer.
