If I wear very light cream corduroys with black chelsea boots (rubber sole, although not clunky), a black leather belt and a dark button down or polo shirt, is it bad?

Doesn't 'sound' good, but pics for a proper critique.

Sorry to say, but I vote no. You need to get those trousers hemmed up; they're simply too long.

I know they're too long. Had them for years, the ppl who hemmed them at the store got them too long, even after I've told them I prefer my trousers with no break.as for the colour palette, it's just something a lot of relatives do and I ended up following them. I prefer to match black boots/shoes with charcoal trousers (I never wear black trousers/suits, it looks cheap). Hate the navy clothes/black footwear combo though. Anyway, I must find some time to get these trousers to the tailor, at least they're not dragging on the floor LoL.

Black and cream do not go together well at all. Really, the entire outfit looks like a mess. Switch to gray chinos or slacks (corduroy in this weather is weird anyway), or keep the pants but switch to brown shoes and belt. And a shirt that isn't black.

Looks like there's enough material in those trouser legs to have them recut into two pairs. Not a good look at all. Sorry.

I'm currently studying in the South hemisphere, hence the colder climate fabrics. It's winter down here.
