Pulling the pant color straight from the stripe is the easiest tonal trick there is, and it works here because the stripe is thin enough to read as texture rather than a loud pattern next to a solid blue leg. The shirt keeps its structure through a full day without needing a mid-afternoon tuck-in. This is the outfit for the office with an actual dress code, or the client meeting where you want to look considered without looking like you tried. Tonal blue is close to a cheat code for a business casual outfit that needs to work twice a week without repeating.

Finish with brown leather oxfords and a slim leather watch.
