Would it be fine to wear navy pants with a navy sportscoat of the textures differ?
I've read to avoid pairing navy trousers with a navy blazer as it can look like a mismatched suit. I have a pair of blue wide-wald corduroys and a bluish tweed sportscoat. Given that tweed is hardly ever solidly coloured and the texture is clearly different from the pants, could I pull this off?

This feels like an example of "if you need to ask, probably not".
I figured if people can wear blue jeans with blazers, this would work fine.
I mean try it and take pics I guess but I think a blazer and jeans sends a different message than what you’re describing
How so?
In my opinion it reads more intentional to do it with jeans since they are an inherently casual pant
Though I am curious how it would play with corduroy since I wouldn’t exactly call them an excessively formal pant
I think the texture on the cords would help you out more so than it would if you were to just wear chinos
pics would help greatly but i feel like there's probably not enough distinction between the two?
But I think if they’re the sameish color it’s over
For the same reason why I wouldn’t wear jeans the exact same shade as my blazer
if the tweed is brownish or grayish with blue then maybe???
They're very wide-waled, FWIW.
Greyish with tints of red.
Try it out and take pics if u want feedback
Bit hard to tell those are cords in these photos tbh. Kinda just looks like you’re wearing a suit
I don't think this works.
R.I.P.
Any reason why?
The blues are too similar so it looks like an attempt at a suit. It also looks like an orphaned suit jacket and not a tweed blazer to my eye. Both items have fit issues to my eye. I can't tell they're cords.
What are the fit issues?
The blazer looks too small (short sleeves and hem, tight waist and sleeves) and the trousers don't hang very nicely in the shot I can see them most clearly. There's a lot of wrinkling and bunching around the knees.
Do you think the trousers can be fixed with tailoring?
You're right about the blazer.
Hard to tell without a better photo.
