I think the grey, black, and navy jacket would all look great with the light grey slacks. There are several things you could pair with these combinations. A striped shirt with complementary colors (black, white, greys) would look nice. For a very stylish look, you could wear a white collared shirt with a sweater vest over it, paired with the jacket and blazer.
The black jacket paired with the dark grey pants, a light blue dress shirt, and a solid dark grey tie would look great.
The navy jacket will also work well with the light khakis. You could pair it with a crisp white shirt and a striped tie for a very classic look.
The light brown patterned coat looks as if it would work well with the brown khaki pants. I would pair it with a white or off-white dress shirt with a tie that incorporates rich golds and browns.
Some further tips...
- Pattern/texture is also important when matching separate pieces. For example, chinos work well with coroduroy because one is light while the other is heavy.
- In addition to contrasting fabrics, you want to contrast colors. Gray/blue, gray/black, black/white all work well. Try to avoid being too matchy-matchy and only pairing like with like.
- Matching color tones is more important than matching colors themselves. For example, chocolate brown pants would work well with a navy jacket because they have similar tones.
- Match colors from the patterns. If you have a jacket or pant with a checked pattern, for example, pick out one color from the pattern and match the coordinating piece to that.
- Keep your color wheel in mind. Pair colors that are opposite on the color wheel to add interest and dimension to your outfit. Oranges and blues, greens and purples, and browns and blues generally work well.
- Remember that jeans often look great with dress jackets as well.
- Instead of a shirt and tie, try wearing a sweater vest over a dress shirt or a sweater vest over a shirt and tie.

A-1 with a solid white or light blue dress shirt
D-4 with a solid white or black dress shirt
It's hard to tell from the picture, but possibly D-3; they seem close enough in color that you could wear them together, with a variety of colored or patterned dress shirts.
Since coat B is more of a jacket than a sportcoat/blazer, it could realistically be worn with any of those pants and a light colored shirt that matches the pants well.
Coat C is a tough one; what kind of pattern is it? I want to say it could go with the lighter khaki pants, but its hard to tell without seeing the pattern up close.

With coat B, you could go with either of the grey dress pants and a blue or white dress shirt. Matter of fact any shirt with no brown, red, or yellow tones will work.
I'm not sure that any of your pants will work with coat B. I think the brown tones look too close to both of your pants to work very well.
Coat D would work best with your lighter grey pants. You could put nearly any dress shirt here and it would work, except very brown tones.

Jacket A with Pants 1. Light blue shirt. Patterned or striped Tie with dark and light blue.
Jacket B with Pants 4. Patterned or striped shirt that has gray with a COLOR, (most blues or greens would be fine).
Jacket D with Pants 3. Gray shirt. Patterned or striped tie that has gray, black, and at least one non-neutral color (blue, green, red, whatever you like). This will tie everything together, but will make the outfit less monotonous than all gray and black.
Jacket C with Pants 2. Wear a solid colored shirt - slate blue or sage green for subdued, rusty orange if you're bold. Tie is optional (solid beige or else a pattern that matches both jacket and shirt).

Here are the jackets:
http://i40.tinypic.com/iwhsgg.jpg
Here are the pants:
http://i39.tinypic.com/3523f9h.jpg
The jackets are:
A) Top-left = dark navy blue blazer
B) Top-right = grey casual/dress jacket (wool I think)
C) Bottom-left = light brown patterned sportcoat
D) Bottom-right = black sportcoat
The pants are (from left to right)
1) Cheap Khaki pants (like Dockers).
2) Cheap brown khaki pants (like Dockers).
3) Dark grey nice dress slacks
4) Light grey dress slacks
I have every kind of dress shirt you could imagine from white to dark bold colors to stripes with french cuffs, so if you feel like it, I would appreciate whole package combo ideas!
Thanks!

The black jacket paired with the dark grey pants, a light blue dress shirt, and a solid dark grey tie would look great.

The light jacket has even lighter squared pattern. The jacket itself is like a brown/olive color. Seems strange to try to match it with anything.

Yeah you may be out of luck with that one! Patterned jackets can be pretty tough to match to a solid pair of pants.

With Coat A, you could wear any of these pants. If you choose the brown pants, go with blue shirts. You could go with either blue or white shirts if you pick the grey pants. With coat B, you could go with either of the grey dress pants and a blue or white dress shirt. Matter of fact any shirt with no brown, red, or yellow tones will work.
I'm not sure that any of your pants will work with coat B. I think the brown tones look too close to both of your pants to work very well.

How did you end up with that stuff? You should buy a blazer; it goes with all pants and you would look smart with any shirt. In the meantime never wear colors in vest and pants that are close but do not really match. You will look better contrasting in this case. Buy a silk black square to put in the collar of your shirts and make that your trademark. Shine your shoes and buy ten pairs of the same long black socks (then you do not care about strays). You will look refined.

You obviously have lots of options that would work, but since I am assuming you are asking since you don't want to have to do all the deciding on your own, I'll give the best combination I can think of. Jacket A with Pants 1. Light blue shirt. Patterned or striped Tie with dark and light blue.
Jacket B with Pants 4. Patterned or striped shirt that has gray with a COLOR, (most blues or greens would be fine).
Jacket D with Pants 3. Gray shirt. Patterned or striped tie that has gray, black, and at least one non-neutral color (blue, green, red, whatever you like). This will tie everything together, but will make the outfit less monotonous than all gray and black.
Jacket C with Pants 2. Wear a solid colored shirt - slate blue or sage green for subdued, rusty orange if you're bold. Tie is optional (solid beige or else a pattern that matches both jacket and shirt).
