I rarely wear them, but decided on getting a new pair recently. I usually wear wool slacks to work, and sometimes a suit. Occasionally, if I want to go casual, some nice dark jeans do the trick. Both look dressy with a button down and some nice shoes.

The khakis are a new one. I don't think they look quite right with nice leather shoes. But, I want to be able to wear them on a casual day to work. Moccasins? Brown shoes? I'm thinking about a nice v neck sweater and t with the khakis as well. Recommendations?

Yes ma'am. I like them mainly with shorts though.

The boat shoes are classic. What about a top? I guess polos are acceptable, although a bit unimaginative. Alternatives?
