High-waisted straight pants with side adjusters pair cleanly with tucked shirts, slim turtlenecks, or cropped hoodies to show the waistband. Cotton corduroy trousers work with both sneakers and derbies, especially when balanced with a slightly oversized knit. Dark-indigo straight-leg denim in the edit reads polished enough for smarter settings if you keep the top half sharp. For a more contemporary line, play up volume with a boxy jacket or relaxed polo on top.
