Do these two go together?

[Daniel Goat]

Hi all,

I got the itch for a dashing navy waistcoat and pant combination. Ideally, I'd like the pant and waistcoat to be corresponding and exactly the same. However, the waistcoat I am eyeing is J.Crew, while the trousers are Epaulet. As you would guess, J.Crew has a matching pair of pants for the vest; but, even though the fabric is sourced from Loro Piana, I would imagine Epaulet offers finer trousers (and for a similar price).

My question is, do you think these two would work together and from more than a foot away look like they match?

I realize it's hard to tell and subtle differences may be discernible up close, that's OK. Just want it to look like it's 90-something% a match. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks!

not a good idea.

They should either be identical fabric or contrasting, you should not be wearing two items which are the same colour but not quite the same fabric.

Just buy a 3-piece suit

I agree

do u need a 3-piece? just wear the vest with something VERY contrasting and you will be ok. heck...rock it with jeans and a tee for super casual wear...

 

[stylishablejean]

i don't think so

Yeah, I rock that look quite often. I have a number of Target (Merona) vests (surprisingly pretty solid). However, I do like to look a bit more dapper at times and vest and corresponding pant match is pretty nice. I'm probably not gonna bother with the jacket.
