There is much information about what makes an odd jacket vs orphaned suit jacket. E.g. coarser fabric, contrasting buttons, patch pockets, patterns, etc. But I still don't understand how to tell the difference between orphaned suit trousers and odd trousers.
I got carried away in a sale and bought these two pairs of trousers. A gray flannel like material and the other is dark brown with a soft sheen.
Are these orphaned suit trousers or are they good to use as odd trousers?
I own cream, tan and navy chino cotton blazers. I have a grey&burgundy&navy pattern odd jacket that I think will go with the grey trousers but the brown trousers have a dressier texture so I am not sure what to pair them with.
They are both regular fit and have straight leg and wide opening(8.5inch gray(32W) and 8.75inch brown(30W). My feet are about only 10 to 11inches long with shoes on, so maybe these trousers are too wide?
They both need shortening and I am not set up to take photos with them on but would appreciate some general advice on whether they are in theory good trousers in style and fabric to wear with odd jackets.
Thanks
