The stripe's thin blue line matches straight to the pant, which is the easiest tonal move in the book and still one of the most reliable — it reads considered without reading matched-on-purpose. The shorter length keeps the whole silhouette current without touching the fit anywhere that matters. This is the outfit for the office that still cares about looking finished, worn on the day you actually have somewhere to be after work. A tonal blue business casual outfit for men who'd rather not think about it twice.

Finish with brown leather oxfords and a slim leather watch.
