Suits without matching trousers... Anonymous 14/01/12 (Sun)20:50 No. 4784 Anonymous

Sunday 8:50 pm 4784 Suits without matching trousers...

So I was in TK Maxx today and saw a nice looking light blueygrey French Connection suit jacket on sale for £23 (apparently RRP £225), probably because it was lacking an accompanying pair of trousers. I liked the style so I picked it up anyway along with a Feraud herringbone blazer for the same price. I tried tracking down the trousers online to no avail, so I'm wondering if it would be acceptable to wear trousers of different colours and/or materials with it? If so, are there any colours which would complement a light blueygrey jacket? Pic related, it looks similar to this but more blue.

Expand all images.

I've got enough smart-casual jackets; I'd like to wear it as a suit, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be appropriate without the matching trousers?

>>4786

I might take a picture tomorrow. I can't be arsed to put on a dress shirt to avoid it looking ridiculous right now.

Yeah it's not the best fit, but that's to be expected with an off the peg suit, I guess. I'll try taking a better picture tomorrow when I'm in formal attire. If it's unusable I'll probably return it or try selling it on.
