I can't get these trousers to work with anything in my wardrobe!

Does this outfit work?

I like the blouse. But I'd wear trousers that colour with a black or navy blouse and add a tan belt.

@CreamTrousers thank you 😁

OneBadKitty · 03/06/2024 17:46

I think they look nice OP! Certainly not worth getting rid of!

gardenmusic · 03/06/2024 18:05

I think the outfit looks lovely, I think you are throwing out the picture because your hand is in your pocket.

ArcticRose · 03/06/2024 19:31

Looks good to me.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 03/06/2024 19:33

I wouldn't be complaining if I looked like that, I think you look great!

Pleiades2020 · 03/06/2024 20:13

As others have said just needs a belt.

CoffeeCatsAndVodka · 03/06/2024 20:26

The outfit is absolutely fine, very nice in fact, just take your hand out of your pocket, that's literally all that is making them look a bit odd! 😉

You look great. The blouse is lovely, the trousers are fine. Yes they are a bit slim fitting, but you can carry it off easily. Would sizing up give you a more louche shape? Add a tan belt and you'll be good to go either way. Looking better than 90% of people out there, easily.

Could work with a navy fine knit sweater. Another idea might be a black waistcoat - I’ve just bought a linen one plus a couple of white cap sleeved T-shirts to wear with a similar pair of trousers.

CreamTrousers · 03/06/2024 20:36

Some of these comments are so nice thank you! I don't feel confident at all and you've given me a little bit of a spring in my step today!

It's not my style but you look lovely- you have a great figure.

ellyfb · 03/06/2024 20:41

I love this outfit!

Soccermumamir · 03/06/2024 20:42

Looks great to me 👍 Smart and casual.

YorkNew · 03/06/2024 20:46

It looks like a nice classic outfit to me.

Bedofroses85 · 03/06/2024 22:05

It's a classic style and you look great in it

soupfiend · 03/06/2024 22:09

I think they look good, for those suggesting a wider leg, you either go wide leg or slim fit like OPs trousers. In between just looks like clown trousers, shapeless and baggy.

The blouse looks ok with them OP, but I would definitely wear a belt, quite a striking one, in perhaps black patent or dark brown leather, big buckle, not one of those slim belts

Toodleoodleooh · 03/06/2024 22:12

Looks great for work.

I'd get rid of them. They're not a great fit, the legs need to be wider. Plus they're an awful colour.

These have the same vibe but with the wider legs they'll be more flattering. I have these in the rose tan ,aka dusky pink, and they're seriously comfortable. They're true to size.

I keep seeing ads for these so I looked at them, they have 'waffle' material, they sound horrible and they're nothing like the type of look OP is wearing so its not a like for like alterantive.

SleepPrettyDarling · 03/06/2024 22:16

Add a brown belt with a gold buckle, a fine gold neck chain, chunky earrings, and a pair of loafers 👍🏻

Bringbackthebeaver · 03/06/2024 22:18

They're not too narrow at the top - they're too wide at the bottom. I think you need a more tapered fit.

Seaside3 · 03/06/2024 23:56

I love the look. A great classic look that looks elegant, without trying. I'd add a belt, pumps or loafers. Maybe a blazer for cooler days. For me cream looks good with white, black, tan or navy. That should open up a few options.

LunaNorth · 04/06/2024 00:01

You look utterly elegant.

WhatNext24 · 04/06/2024 01:11

I think you look great overall but the trousers could potentially look better with a different colour top - maybe a dusky pink or mauve, something subtle but cool toned because the trousers are taupe and I think need to be paired with something else cool toned. Even a blouse that is more stone than white I think would help. But I already think you look 8/10 so if I were you would just get out and enjoy life!
