I have recently decided to take my wardrobe seriously and looking at tackling a whole bunch of different areas - however one of my priorities is some nice clothes for evening dinners at nice restaurants or cocktail bars. I wanted to get some dress pants - but am struggling to get my head around colours and fabrics and looking for some advice please.
I live in the tropics where it is hot and humid all year round, so am looking at fresco wool or Irish linen for the pants - and would probably feel comfortable starting out with beige or grey pants to begin with, but would like thoughts on what fabric and colour shirts would match? Can also consider jackets (I’ve got a few blue, brown and grey sports coats) but for now just want to get the pants and shirt match right.
I’m also intending to experiment with a high rise, pleats and cuffs for these pants. I’m in my early forties, 5’8 and 180lbs with a bit of a belly. I’m also liking the idea of side adjusters over belt loops.
Lastly, suggestions on shoes to match? I’m thinking maybe a suede penny loafer.
Appreciate any thoughts people have.
