I’ll send later I just tossed them in the washing machine
I mean, I doubt you can chuck dress pants in the washing machine so I'm intrigued.
Uh I’ve been doing that for years 😅 never ran into any problems
Are you talking wool dress pants, chinos, or what style? I’ve seen some drawstring trousers that might work better than really formal wool pants
Define dress pants. We are all curious now
I think it can look great if it’s a loose pant like the uniqlo loose pleated pants
buuuut idt think the silhouette really works with a slimmer pair
I like hoodie, with wool pants and boots its like a mix or casual and formal
Post fit
dont have any pics but maybe later on today
Oh I definitely was trying that a few years back seeing someone post a similar fit on imgur
The wool trousers was flannel and it helped dressed down
Havent seen a worsted one tho
It doesn’t look to great because my clothes aren’t neatly ironed but hope in gives an idea I will wear boots with it too
Do you want feedback?
yh sure why not lol
At first glance it just looks like oddly shaped sweatpants. So you don't get the contrast. If you look carefully and you realize the contrast you just get formality mismatch. Wool slacks, peeking tshirt, hoodie? Oddball. My 2c
Sweatpants 😭😭😭 I don’t see it but thanks for the feedback. I personally like it but thanks for the feedback
Out of curiosity what would be a contrast of smart/casual since you said it’s a formality mismatch I kinda feel like that’s the whole thing of smart/casual mix. Like an overcoat/hoodie, shirt, trousers and bomber jacket and hoodie with a shirt underneath.
Just my take
I went into an argument about mixing up like that with another member when the reddit sub was regular a few years back
I think it the level of layering
Say u wear hoodie then the upper level u have a top coat
This is what i think tho
With the pic u posted
Remove the crease from the trousers
Swap with more prominent texture fabric
I think it would looks cool then
Seh kelly trousers are like that
Wait I’m sorry I don’t follow so to make it better is to wear an overcoat and trousers that haven’t been pressed and to wear a pants wit more visible texture?
So for your example
I think in order to make wat u wore mix well
Deformalize the trousers
Is way to go, eg no crease
Morw texturous fabric
I think that what informale does
Or seh kelly

Field trousers in motley tweed in charcoal — S.E.H Kelly
Trousers, wide of leg, made in London with dark grey woollen cloth of fuzzy yarn from Yorkshire, and with horn buttons from the Midlands.
I find it hard to mix a dress trousers straight up with hoodie
But then what i said just equal to get another trousers. Sorry if that not helpful
The colors and the tee underneath aren't really working in your favor here. I think it can be done, but sweats with trousers is a choice and is going to need the right shoes and other layers and such to get it to be cohesive
Would you say grey wool trousers? Or even These brown trousers? If not what colour would you recommend? And for shoes I normally wear black boots or converse
They’re straight leg and full length
Those are some really nice trousers love the thicker waistband and the cut. But are they not similar to these? https://www.oliveclothing.com/men/legwear/p-oliveunique-20171206-001-hazel-menswear-volk-wool-trousers-hazel
Or would you say they have more visual texture? They look the same to me imho and they have a grey pair too
