The nice thing about both grey and khaki is that LOTS of colors can go well with them.

The one thing to avoid with the grey pants, especially the ones that are almost black, is wearing a shirt that is also grey or close to black. If you wear two items that are black, or close to it, you want to make sure they are the exact same shade, or else it can come across looking strange. That being said though, you could wear a lighter grey pair of pants with a black shirt and it will look very good! Brown is another color that you may want to avoid with grey or black pants; one rule of thumb I've learned thanks to my girlfriend is that black and brown together is generally a no no.

With the khaki pants, you have all kinds of options. Variations of blue, red, green, white, even purple will all look great with khaki. I'm a big fan of vertical striped shirts, so if you have some of those, or are looking to buy some, its a nice way to add a few different colors to contrast with the 'plain' khaki.

I think the grey jacket and pants would look great together, especially if you wore them with a white or off-white dress shirt, with the top button unbuttoned.

Well, my number one rule is Khakis go with just about EVERYTHING! Khakis are a bit less dressy than black or blue pants. I tell my Husband that if his shirts are a gray or black hue then wear these with black pants, those shirts with blue hues should go with blue pants, and the others should go with khakis. This is an easy way to know that you are dressing well! Another important thing to remember is NEVER, EVER wear blue socks with black pants or vice versa. Her are some links to help you out! Good luck!
