Styling sky-blue pants

Help me style these pants. I like the color, and I like that they get me out of my jeans-and-khakis comfort zone. I tried them with several different shirts today. Tees and button-up shirts seem to work better than polos. I think my favs are polka-dots and flowers, but I think I'm limited by the fact that I wear a lot of blue, and maybe need some different colors with these pants. Also interested in suggestions for shoes, jackets, etc., not just shirts. Maybe canvas sneakers for shoes? Recommending specific pieces is fine, at any price level, because I'm just looking for ideas.

Try a lighter shirt maybe? Also potentially lighter tee + that dark blue overshirt would look good

Yeah, that's a good idea. I feel like light-colored shirts are tricky for me and often don't work well with my very fair skin, but I will try it.

In addition to lighter colored shirts. I’d also may try some warmer colored shirts as well. The ones pictured all have a cool base.

Went shopping and tried some stuff on. Didn't really like how warm tones work with my complexion

Really liked this jacket. A bit pricey though.

Jacket with white/cream trousers and loafers would be good. Sorry that wasn't about the OG trousers. White, pale blue, uni stripe OCBD or maybe button down popover could work.

no worries...I feel like that jacket could work with a lot of stuff I have.
