A: No one's shirts and pants match.
B: It looks like C's the only one of us who didn't keep any of his original clothes.
C: I don't know if I like these red pants.

US Version

You know that C's wearing red pants and isn't wearing anything he was previously, so his shirt has to be blue.

UK Version

You know that C's wearing red trousers and isn't wearing any of the white clothes he previously wore, so his shirt has to be blue.

US Version

C's the only one of the three men not wearing any of the items he was wearing originally.

UK Version

Bear in mind that C's the only one of the three men not wearing any of the items he originally wore.

Solution

Incorrect

Too bad!

Give it another try and see what develops.

Correct

Nicely done!

US Version

You know that C is the only one not wearing something from his original outfit, meaning he's not wearing anything white. You also know he has red pants, so his shirt must be blue.

Since A and B are each wearing pants or a shirt of their own, you can deduce that A is dressed in a red shirt and B in blue pants. With all that settled, all you have to do is place your remaining white items in the right places...and your puzzle is solved.
