Looking for straight/ relaxed fit recs, found PRL ones to be slimmer than I'd like (leg opening 15.5") Also - suggestions on which color to go for - brown, olive, any other? Will be wearing black/ navy outerwear/ tops.

Corduroy Pants - Colors to pair with Tees

Would Black T-Shirts work well with Brown Pants? (Muji Dark Brown or Uniqlo Brown - links next).

Denim Jeans: Abercrombie vs Levi's

Looking for views on the following jeans - black wash color. https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/p/90s-straight-jeans-48056349 99% cotton and 1% elastane https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/p/athletic-straight-jean-53787885 95% Cotton, 4% Polyester, 1% Elastane I usually wear Levi's 541 (99% cotton/ 1% elastane) - the following model is not in stock https://www.levi.com/CA/en_CA/clothing/men/jeans/taper/541-athletic-taper-fit-mens-jeans/p/181810774 Questions: (1) - Would 4% poly impact durability negatively. From limited reading that I've done - 100% cotton jeans are most durable. (2) - Views on versatility/ utility of dark gray instead of black denim? (3) - Any other brands I should consider (besides Uniqlo) - within ~CAD 100 price range?

3 Season (S/S/F) shoes that are acceptable in Business Casual situations

Looking for summer appropriate leather shoes that hold up well in mildly wet conditions. Further considerations: (1) In terms of formality - something a step above White Leather Sneakers - but not as dressy as Brown Derby Brogue Wingtips (2) A good example is how I've been using Blundstones - work well in Spring/ Fall/ Winter - and are okay in snowy downtown conditions (3) Should have good grip Few options that I've come across are: * LL Bean Blucher Mocs * Paraboot Michaels (way over the amount I'd like to spend) * Boat Shoes (not for Fall) Thanks.
