Interesting to hear. I've always got mine on the inside, so I have the option of going braceless. I suppose if I ever got fishback trousers, could make sense to try it your way.
What are peoples opinions on standalone trousers, in terms of their cloth weight/type.
I don't have a massive wardrobe so trying to be versatile with pieces I do get. I'm thinking a chino/trouser cross over. I'm set on the colour which will be a mid greyish (Don't fancy tan/beige, as my wardrobe is darker colours for now, I have business suits in other tones of grey). The factor that I guess will distinguish it as a bit more casual will be the cloth choice.
Cotton/wool mix be good? as opposed to just cotton. I want to keep the trouser weighting akin to bnusiness suiting so 9-11oz max. Any recommendations on cloth bunches/cloth composition is appreciated
I think if you want chinos, buy chinos. Cotton trousers never look dressy, in my opinion.
Try a lightweight flannel, such as Fox's Queen's Award bunch. Lots of vibrant colors, but plenty of versatile greys, too.
Hi all,

Personally, I've had bad experience with durability with lighter flannel (and I hate flannel in the summer, even though historically people wore it (but they also wore heavy cloth in the summer)), which may not be good for a workhorse trouser. I also find flannel tends to wear hot, even in lighter weights, but YMMV.
