When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Printed Bermuda not combined with a flowery T-Shirt

A suggestion.

In fact not combined can be replaced by the better non-matching or unmatching.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Amy Duncan (X) : "not combined" should be "doesn't combine with" but "doesn't go well with is still better"

Printed Bermudas ( Bermuda shorts ) don't go with a Hawaiian T-shirt

Problem here:
1: Bermudas are obviously shorts and therefore you don't need to say so
2: The shirt mentioned is a Hawaiian flowery type

But I think the meaning is succinctly captured by reference to the two geographic areas which, clearly, don't go together, which is the meaning of the sentence...
Peer comment(s):

agree Kathryn Litherland : I could say "Hawaiian shirt" and not T-shirt, but also very good option. Also, US we say Bermuda shorts and not just Bermudas.

neutral Amy Duncan (X) : There are no "Hawaiian T-shirts" to my knowledge, just "Hawaiian shirts"

Printed Bermuda shorts and flowered T-Shirts don´t go well together

OR: "Printed Bermuda shorts and flowered T-Shirts are not a good match"

:-)
Example sentence:

Which colours and types of clothes go well together?

Printed bermudas do not agree with flowery T-shirts

acho que com cores usa-se 'agree'. Tambem acho que devemos usar o plural em Ingês neste caso.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Amy Duncan (X) : We don't use "agree" in this sense in English

Is the expression" all colours agree in the dark" bad English therefore?

Print Bermuda shorts do not go with flowery t-shirts.

Sorry to add one more. And the "s" in t-shirt_s_ is not a plural!!

Printed Bermuda shorts don't go with flowery shirts - or...

...do not/NOT go with... (for more emphasis)
...don't look good/nice with...

It depends on context, the preceding sentence, etc., but I think it could be either shirts or T-shirts - see pics. in 2nd link


Pat Healy (Matt Dillon). A caracterização do sujeito já é, por si só, uma piada: bigodinho canalha, camiseta florida e sapatos de couro branco.

I am from UK and say" Bermuda shorts" - print Bermuda also used, though I think it tends to have a qualifier before it e.g. shell-print, leaf-print, op-art print, etc.
