What to Wear with Trousers: Tops and Shoes

Try the trousers over the actual shoes. A full-length hem should not trail on the ground during normal walking. Loafers, flats, and sneakers produce different hem relationships, so inspect each before deciding whether tailoring is needed.

For workplace requirements, consult women's business outfit planning.

• "Compare a fitted tee and loosely tucked shirt with my navy wide-leg trousers. Keep flat shoes."
• "Build an office look from grey straight trousers, white shirt, loafers, and a navy jacket. The dress code is business casual."
• "Make a weekend trouser outfit with a tee and cardigan. Include seated and walking comfort checks."

For an office, start with a clean shirt, trousers appropriate to the dress code, and well-kept shoes. Add a jacket if the setting calls for it. Distinguish a business-formal requirement from a workplace that permits a relaxed combination.

For a men's office combination, use men's business outfit choices.

1. Record the cut, hem length, and occasion.
2. Give Macaron the candidate tops, layers, and shoes.
3. Request an office combination and a casual variation.
4. Try both with the real shoes and arrange tailoring if the hem drags.
