match with

[learner110]

can " match" be used in intransitive form? is it correct to say

my shoes do not match with the shirt.

thanks

I would say it without the "with" -- in other words, transitively.

Barb_D is correct. Perhaps you have met the expression go with:

My shoes do not go with my shirt.

This has a different meaning. Match in your example has the idea of have the same colour, pattern, style as. Go with has the idea of comine well with.
