What colour pants/jeans will go well with the shirt in 1st pic?
I feel that the colour combo in the 2nd pic is more appealing than the 1st one. Please suggest an equally appealing colour for the shirt in the 1st pic.

Purple is a hard color to pull off, try charcoal or a muted brown trouser (or something in cream).
How about this colour? Will it go well with purple?
The pants? It would probably be "better" per se when it comes to contrast. But imo the glossy finish of the shirt would clash with the roughness of denim
Yeah, the pants
Okay. But the navy shirt also has a bit of a glossy finish. It matches quite well with the denim in my opinion. What do you think?
The navy one still kind of looks off in my opinion due to the glossiness but is more "appealing" due to the less unusual color.
May I know what style/aesthetic you are going for? It can be pretty hard to give recommendations when I dont know what look you are going for lmao
I prefer a semi formal/business casual look. My workplace allows me to wear denim.
I'll be fairly blunt: these look like the kind of cheap dress shirts in oversaturated colours that are hard to make look good with anything. They definitely don't pair well with boots and denim.
The third shirt is the best of these.
This
If you are committed to the shirts I agree that chinos/ghurkas/slacks in brown/grey/beige/cream are probably going to be better than jeans.
Different shoes would probably be better too.
Tho if you're pretty insistent on wearing the shirts, try wearing them with smarter trousers. Chinos or Wool slacks will look better with the shirts than denim ever will.
Hold up
Okay. The navy shirt however is a Calvin Klein. Definitely not a cheap one 😂
Here are some pics from my early menswear days. The shirt's color is different but you can see how it harmonizes much better with chinos rather than denim.
So you have two paths here:
1) Wear the shirts with smarter trousers and preferably a sport coat
2) Ditch the shirts, wear the denim and the boots with a western shirt or ocbd in 100% cotton.
Got your point. But the thing with light colour shirts is that they don't go well with my skin colour. So, I prefer dark coloured shirts.
Dark colours can be fine, it's the saturation that can be an issue.
That and pairing with jeans/boots just doesn't work well for such a flat and crispy textured fabric. I would try different trousers first if you really love the shirts.
