[...] boring, but to my surprise its cool and fresh integrity works beautifully. I like it best worn with white and/or a colour (bright or muted). And the white can be in the form of an accessory like a handbag [...]

I find that beige works extremely well with blue – preferably a strong blue. Blue is to beige as red is to dark grey… Excellent!

Never thought about that beige pants might look (too) conservative, but I ll try to notice and see if I agree.

You need to find a colour that’s closet to your skin tone, Gayle.

Hi, can you tell me what is the best colour underwear to wear under white slacks? I have heard different people say, blue, white or beige, what is the proper colour. Thankyou in advance for your help. Gayle

Women who have “spring”colouring can definitely wear beige or stone, but not that pale dirty colour beige that is almost like no colour.

Thank you for much needed comment on beige. Lately I have noticed whole slews of people wearing khaki capris and capri cargo pants. It’s enough to make me want to scream. Once again it’s because these items are sold to the American public that so many people are wearing them. I’ve always felt bad about khaki and only have one item, a pair of shorts, in that color.

[...] which I had planned as a follow-up to my previous attack on the question, because Angie has written one which is very clear and easy to understand. As I understand her explanation: there are extreme whites, (palest gray) off-white, light yellows [...]

Great work Angie, thanks to you and Reecca for the first time I’m not scared to approach the shelves in the stores with beiges & co.

I would like to request you to do similar articles on other colours !

This is very helpful!

I have a few pairs of pants that I’ve been struggling with. They are stretch chino pants in lighter colors (one light sand and one pair that is very light gray) and I just can not seem to make them work. Even though the light gray may not technically belong in this category, I think I understand now that some colors are just hard to make work – like the beige you describe. The only color I really like with these pants is black, but I bought these pants for hot summer days, so black defeats the whole purpose! I may try to find a red or another bright color, but if that doesn’t work, I’m giving up on those pants!

From reading this post, I think I have to accept that some colors are just harder to work with. I do love white jeans, so I think I’ll stick to those now for those hot days when dark pants don’t feel right. As always, Angie – you have given great advice!
