I am preparing for my business attires to wear in my first job. I will be reporting in May. The dress code is very strict. It's ok to wear just long sleeves with slacks and closed shoes. It's ok not to wear a tie or an americana. I have bought dark brown, light brown and black pants. I am having difficulties in buying long-sleeves because I not good in matching colors. What colors should I buy to pair with brown and black pants? I should look good because this is my first job. Thanks a lot mylotters!

Those colors are easy to find a match. You can match the brown and black pants with a white polo, yellow, pink, light blue or any light colors will look good on it.

Those colors for slacks are basic. You can look into varied colors with it. What's your skin-tone? If you're on the fair side, then there's no problem with it, but the good colors for fair skin-tone are pastel colors because you'd look neat. Further, be careful not to mismatch your belt color and your shoe color. Make sure the fit is good too and check if the fabric of your longsleeves would show obvious signs of sweat, nothing makes an awkward moment than that. Good luck! Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Thanks for the advice. I have a fair skin-tone. Are there colors not to be match to the brown pants? How about for the black pants? Thanks for sharing. I definitely keep in mind not to mismatch the belt color and shoe color.

Brown, how brown is your brown? Milk Chocolate brown? or Dark chocolate brown? If it's milk chocolate or khaki, go with cream or white, you could also go for brown or black. With dark brown, black or white or light brown. With black slacks, anything goes because you're fair skinned. But I usually like it when my partner wears oranges, yellows and pastels with the black pants. You could also do solid dark colors but it would appear warmer or too serious (this look however looks great at night). :)

Hello friend, I think it is white my friend. White is my favorite colour. It is also good with any colour. Have a nice day.

Your light brown pants should go good with long sleeve yellow strip (light one) and black pants it is win win solution because you can match it with any color you like.
