I don’t know that anyone has said that there are no navy trousers that will ever look good. Just that many navy worsted wool trousers are not recommended because they look like they were supposed to belong with a suit. I wear navy cotton chinos and cotton/linen trousers frequently, especially to more casual outings like parties or out to dinner, I just wouldn’t wear wool trousers because (imho) they look like they belong to a suit and look odd as separates. There are certain fabrics and even patterns that lean more towards an odd trouser look and those are often recommended as odd trousers. I don’t buy worsted wool navy trousers because they would never make my “best outfits” and would never get worn.
Also, I don’t have it in the budget right now but I would love to try to put together a look with a black linen coat, white or off-white trousers or even jeans, and black boots for a party. I think it would stand out but still look good
I like how you framed this.
