A light blue blouse is a year-round wardrobe staple with the potential to look dressy or casual depending on the slacks. Blue hues are generally regarded as cool tones and set the right mood with complementing shades of white, light khaki or black. Men can also pull off blue shirts, especially at the office.

Pants for Light Blue Tops

For a fresh, crisp look, couple your light blue top with well-tailored, white slacks. Or for a classic approach, choose navy slacks, especially with light blue button-down tops. Wispy, summery light blue tops look casual and weather-appropriate when partnered with nearly white khaki or linen pants. For light blue denim tops, go casual with black skinny jeans for a stylish, clean and fashion-forward look. Men often wear light blue button-down shirts as well. For a professional and put-together look, men should choose black or navy slacks for the most complementary appearance.
