OK, MFA, what the hell goes well with these pants?

I own a pair of the darker brown ones and THOSE are easy to figure out, but I've never owned a pair of red pants. These just look awesome, though, and I'm probably gonna pull the trigger. I just have no idea what the hell would go with them shirt-wise. Help please!

Navy, grey, olive, charcoal, light blue, pink, brown, tan. Lots of stuff.

Neutrals! My first thought is anything neutral. Avoid anything bright.

Most of those look hilarious. Good examples of what not to do, so it's appreciated all the same.

Edit: After exploring further there's actually some pretty good examples of what TO do as well; even better.

They're called GTH pants (Go to Hell). You wear them with whatever you'd wear a pair of khaki chinos. Be prepared to own the shit out em, because if you don't have the right attitude, you're just going to look like a fool in red pants. ;)

Saw a guy wearing a pair today. He was wearing a Navy prep blazer, a white shirt, navy-green-white striped skinny tie and a pair of shitty brown bicycle-style slip-ons. I thought it was an awesome look, except for the shoes. Tan loafers would have completed the look, unfortunately.

Good thing I don't give a shit what people think of me, then :) Thanks for the input! I have a pair of lighter brown wingtips that I think would go pretty well with them shoe-wise.

I know you're on about shirts, but they might look really good with a cream blazer/jacket. Come to think of it, cream might be an alright colour if you're just wearing it with a shirt.
