Odd trouser waistband configuration

[wit]

I'm considering having a pair of odd trousers made through an MTM program. I will mostly wear these to the office without a jacket. Somewhat conservative office. The MTM store offers a number of waistband options, including the three photos attached (standard, standard hidden, and extended peak). Which option do you think is the most appropriate and versatile?

I will appreciate your input.

Some other configuration items:

• Mid-grey tropical wool (VBC)
• 4 c.m. waistband height
• 4 c.m. turn ups
• Side tabs
• Single reverse pleats

Standard button



Standard hidden button



Extended peak button

my two cents -- i don't think there is a right or wrong answer here but I prefer wearing odd trousers with a belt, in which case the waistband closure is hidden.

I agree about that. Maybe the most traditional option is the peak button with the one belt loop, but nothing wrong with the other ones.

You're already forgoing a jacket in a semi-conservative environment. Does it really matter, then, where your button is? As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're not walking around jacketless with exposed suspenders/braces, then anything goes as far as your configuration of these trousers.

Thank you, @breakaway01, @DorianGreen, @GoldenBrahms! Good to know there’s no right or wrong here. That’s what I was nervous about. I’ll go with the standard hidden button, then. Looks cleanest to me.

And definitely no suspenders without a jacket! I’m not Urkel cool yet.
