What shirt/shoe combo would you wear with these pants?
I have these Fullcount's and just don't know how to make them click.
Thanks for the input.

White t shirt or an ecru button-front shirt.

The pants already has stripes so you don’t want to clash it with any stripe/checkered shirts. Stick with solid colors and experiment. Think colors that look “dirty” like rust/orange shades of yellow.
that sounds good, thought of mainly solid shades, appreciate it,
thank you

On a more serious note, work boots like Red Wing Blacksmiths should go well with these pants. Also a white, old-timey work shirt.

With trousers like these, I would definitely avoid anything that turns the whole thing into a costume.
My thing would therefore be more of a
mix with more modern pieces. Sneakers, functional shirts, plain shirts, plain t-shirts, thick woollen jumpers. Simply combine everything you have and try it out.

Respectfully disagree. Nothing wrong with asking for collective advice. It can cost lots of time and money seeking things out, and then trying them out.
PS - I would very likely never gotten the Silverman's N-1 if it wasn't for your advice!!! A very unique product.

This.

I would go for T-Shirts and plain jumpers without any (additional) frills. The pants are standing out, so any more distractions to the eye would simply be too much.

Fair points, well made.

@mdmarz , apologies. I clearly got out the wrong side of the bed this morning!

All cool, lively discussions make this board work, the pants may be a little too much out of my comfort zone, hopefully not one of "those" purchases.
enjoy the rest of the weekend and cheers!
really? I thought when it get faded like that it gets much easier to style with rather than a crisp brand new wabash
I'm waiting my pair to fade like that Screenshot_20231130_072529_Gallery.jpg

That's a good point but with these pants the contrast fades are heavily demarcated with little transition from heavy fade to light fade to unfaded which is quite eye catching (for better or for worse,) so I think the general consensus here is to go with a neutral, solid color shirt.

Sometime the fade is more exaggerated when photographed flat like that but actually look a lot more normal when worn as a 3d object Screenshot_20230815_101110_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20230817_074445_Gallery.jpg
I tend to pair wabash with tan leather items, i think pairing it with another pieces of clothes in off white, black, olive or sage work
