Styling brown wool trousers for work
I thrifted a pair of Brooks Brothers brown wool trousers today (super 120s, VBC fabric for $5 on labor day sale!). Nearly exactly my size, though I may have the waist brought in a little. Was thinking it would be a great opportunity to branch out of wearing chinos/denim at work and wearing wool dress trousers. I've been browsing PutThisOn, this discord's guides, r/mfa, etc for some inspo on styling darker brown trousers but I'm coming a little empty handed.
MFA's v7 guide suggests brown wool trousers (https://imgur.com/dkeBWzU) for casual tailoring and PutThisOn recommends sticking to grey and brown (https://putthison.com/how-to-choose-trousers-for-any-sport-coat/) when starting out, for example. I'm just having trouble finding some ideas of pulling them off.
Is a sport coat necessary here? Any advice on shoes/pant break? (All my denim and chinos are no break or quarter break). And any chance the trousers won't generally work b/c they may be "orphaned" suit pants?
I can upload pics of the trousers soon.

We’ve all been there before: you buy a sport coat that looked tremendous on the rack. You may have been...
