What looks good with dress pants?

For business casual, rock your dress pants with a white dress shirt, navy tie and blazer. At work, you can keep things safe with a dress shirt, maybe a tie, and a sport coat when wearing dress pants. I also like a good sweater and dress shirt combo—or just a turtleneck on its own.

If you're just wearing pants, they're interchangeable. However, you can't wear your standalone dress pants with the navy jacket — they won't be identical, and everything will look weird. They're the same in terms of formality, but don't try to match other pants to a jacket of the same color.

How do you wear skinny dress pants?

If you are tapering your pants slim, first unpick the hem of your pants, iron the pants, draw and pin the tapering line all the way through your pants, and cut away the excess fabric. Once you've sewn back your pants you can re-hem them with a neat hem that fits the new tapered cut.
