As long as the trousers are tailored nicely with minimal break, and you keep a nice crease in them, I think the calvary twill works really well in business casual settings, especially if your office is like mine and leans more toward the casual side of business casual. I have a few older pair from Brooks Brothers that I've been wearing for years in the fall and winter and often pair them with a tweed, flannel, moleskin, or doeskin blazer or sportcoat. If I had a hopsack blazer, I probably wouldn't hesitate to wear them with that either. I think the nice, heavy calvary twill is one of the most versatile materials for trousers. They work great in the office and in the casual settings - they are a nice step up from your standard chinos while not getting as formal as a pair of wool trousers (and able to take much more abuse than those wool trousers).My mocha calvary twill MTO arrived, and it has an insanely awesome hand and texture. I think they may become my favorite pair of trousers!I'm trying to build up a respectable business casual baseline of outfits and I'm looking for some advice. Calvary twill definitely has some great texture and surface interest. Does it work for a business casual outfit? Due to it's texture, can I pair it with a blazer, such as a navy hopsack one? As far as colors, can I pair any of the following with a hopsack navy blazer and either a white or blue OCBD shirt (and optional woven tie)?
I may be wrong, but I'm thinking gunmetal, khaki, mocha, and olive cavalry twill trousers with a white or blue OCBD, woven tie, and navy hopsack blazer (epaulet MTO hopefully) would make a great set of basic business casual outfits. Does matching those colors and textures work? Would cavalry twill match up with a hopsack blazer and OCBD shirt? Am I understanding business casual correctly or do I have a mismatching?
Before taking it to the tailor to have the sleeves altered I took a few pics. The olive windowpane arrives this week too! Can't wait!!
