From Casual Days In to Evenings Out: How to Wear Trousers in a More Relaxed Way

I’m really glad that trousers are having a moment and especially a really relaxed one! I did not get rid of my wonderful suits from before I retired. I figured they would still be useful if I just used each piece separately with other tops and bottoms. But they just didn’t seem comfortable for working from home.  I’m looking forward to learning how to wear trousers in a relaxed way. I never thought of wearing them around the house before. I love the fact that there are endless possibilities when we explore new things.

Also included in this post is how to break up a suit by taking the trousers and pairing them with other things rather than just with a matching blazer. That way, they are wearable in so many more ways from casual days in to evenings out! Age doesn’t matter.

Look-Of-Linen Big Shirt Separates from Draper’s & Damon’s

Do you sometimes wonder how you can feel cool yet look classy when it’s hot?  I found the answer long ago in the book:  Hot Tips:  1000 Fashion and Beauty Tricks by Frances Patiky Stein.  In the “Summer Tricks” section of the book, she tells how to make an instant summer suit.  I’ve used this outfit idea dozens of times when I was working and it kept me cool while being office-appropriate.  Although this won’t work for a very conservative corporate environment where an actual suit is required, it’s useful in many other ways.  You can put together your own suit from cool separates where the dress codes is not so strict as well as for business evenings, business travel, city day meetings and events and even business in country settings.  Age doesn’t matter at all!

First I’ll give you the trick as presented by Stein in her book.  Then I’ll tell you how I used it myself and how this outfit combination can be adapted to different occasions.  This post is an installment in my Style Tips category.
