For me it’s usually spaghetti sauce, although occasionally, mustard.

Me, too–I make Queen Elizabeth look Third World. But I have a pinkish-white tint, so my complexion picks up red and reflects it. Blues and violets looks best on me, or darker jewel tones. It’s all trial and error!

Er…a trash can. Possibly a dark colored shirt, but it really depends on the jeans. But for Heaven’s sake, if you do wear a dark shirt with them, do not pair it with a jacket because you’ll look like Michael Kors.

Actually, I really don’t know why any man would wear beige jeans.

I tried that, but it was kind of heavy and I really needed to cut some eye-holes. Would a garbage bag work? They’re a lot easier to work with.

I like medium to light greens with beige. Since they’re beige/gray, for a classy look I’d go with dark gray or black.
