Smoked MOP Buttons for Blazer Suit?

[JLibourel]

This spring I received from Chan a blazer with smoked MOP buttons. It was made from a medium blue Harrison's Frontier fabric. It is casually styled with patch pockets.

I have been flirting with the idea of ordering a pair of matching trousers from Chan to convert it to a blazer suit at need. It is already a very versatile garment, going well with trousers in blue seersucker, grey, tan, white or red. Having the option of making it into a blazer suit at will would enhance its versatility even more.

I don't want to remove the MOP buttons for horn buttons, so that is not an option. Bottom line question: Are smoked MOP buttons too casual and blazer-ish for a somewhat casual blazer suit?

Personally I would even prefer them to horn.

That said, they add a certain casualness to the suit, which, depending on your working environment, may make the garment unwearable in a business context.

Just IMHO of course.

Quite OK as long as they are not shiny.

I don't think so. In fact, I have a few suits that have smoked MOP buttons.

I think they'd be fine. I'd say smoked MOP (SMOP?) for lighter-weight, warmer weather suits and brown horn for more year-round, cooler weather stuff.

Brown horn on navy or grey is fine for most business settings, right?

I agree, my summer suits have smoked MoP buttons and my winter suits have horn.

Brown horn on navy or grey seems fine to me for business settings.

I did smoked MOP on my blue linen suit, and I wear the jacket seperately a lot.
