I bought these BB cotton/linen pants; the color is nice, but it might pose some difficulties as to what kind/color of sportcoat and shirt can be worn with them. Any suggestions?

What sport coat and shirt with these cotton/linen pants?

Thanks; actually, the navy blazer was the first thing that came to my mind, but it's always useful to ask for suggestions here...
Yes, I was thinking to go with brighter colours, as the summer is getting close. Do you think an aloha shirt would go with them in a more casual (and hotter) variant?
And in a less casual occasions, I would wear them with more subdued colours of shirt plus a sportcoat...
I think that a gray/white, tan/white, or white/white would look better. As for the shirt, since these are solid I think you can go lots of different directions and patterns. A white with blue pinstripes, a pink, peach, or maybe even lavender gingham would also work. Thinking about it further, I would say that lime green could possibly work as well. That might come off as a little easter eggish though.
I would probably pair it with a tan, stone, or natural linen jacket if I was going to wear one.

I think a navy blazer could look great, if worn with the proper accompaniments. I'd keep the shoes more casual. White bucks would work well, tan would be good too. Lighter colored footwear would likely tend to pair better. Tan loafers, etc. Nothing wrong with a plain white BD if you want a tie, but make it a lighter, more relaxed summer tie. For sport shirts, keep then simple in lighter, harmonizing colors and it should look for very good, if you're wearing them with the navy blazer.
The aforementioned grey jacket would be fine, also bone, or lighter tan.

Sure, and sure!
If you wore an aloha shirt, I keep it simple and classic, such as this from Reyn Spooner -
As I suggested, should look fine with a sportcoat as long as you keep the colors soft and light, and don't try to dress them up too much.
Great suggestions, guys, thanks! I have more or less all what you mentioned, tan, white, pink, lime shirts, aloha shirt just as one Flanderian mentioned, navy blazer, tan and gray/olive sportcoats, white bucks, dirty white loafers, etc, so I guess I'm set!

Sport coat? I agree with the suggestions for tan, natural or stone. Navy would work, but for my taste navy would be too much blue on blue.

Yes. IMO, pairing some pastels can look Easter eggish.
+1 for a simple and classic "aloha" shirt.
