Improve this outfit please

This was me trying to put together a summer ish, monochromatic/muted smart casual outfit for work in an educational setting. Jacket, trousers and shirt are all some combo of cotton/linen.

This was my best attempt but I couldn't quite make it so I was happy with it.

What can I improve in terms of fit, or swapping out items/colours/fits to make it look relaxed and a bit slouchy/casual but still smart?

I would really like to include the trousers as I've hardly worn them. Are they incompatible with the jacket though due to any particular thing like fit/colour? Or is there potential for making this jacket/trousers pairing work?

Accessories? The trousers have side adjusters and no loops so I can't add a belt, which I think would help with the casual but put-together look I'm after.

Edit: looking at the pics now I think it looks too bottom-heavy with the trousers being darker? Would lighter trousers help? Am I on the right lines?
