View attachment 916884 Greetings gentlemen, just looking for some friendly opinions from whomever.

I have a wool DB sport coat that I am having trouble with deciding which pants to pair it with. I have posted 2 shades of grey trousers with the jacket. Hopefully the pics are clear enough, as they have been taken with a lousy phone camera.

Any opinion or suggestion is welcomed.

When wearing a navy sc you want contrast. The lighter grey pants would work very well. Even lighter grey would also work, and if you want a slightly more casual look you could also go for anything in the cream/khaki colour range.

Thank you. I envy your lack of below freezing temperatures! I totally fell hard earlier this week after slipping on ice on my front steps. I have it on video. I won't share it because it would absolutely be the most liked (and most viral) post I've ever made and I'm not ready for that. But I am tempted.

I agree, i would even say best post on SF since the beginning of 2018 !

I love the reaction of (i suppose) your son. Or is it no reaction ? Anyway great.
Without joking you could have killed yourself, so it is a happy ending.

My son is as calm and level as I am. That video shows us both as we are. I'm laughing so hard. He just turns around and walks back like it's nothing.

You should then take comfort in the fact that you dress very well even when drunk :cheers:
