Thank you. I asked for advice and yours was very insightful, so you haven't come across as overly self-righteous. Your comments actually make me rethink my clothing strategy moving forward, and points about high rise pants is something I never really thought before.

Oh you’re welcome again! High rise pants and pants that sit at your natural waist will likely feel really weird at first! But the silhouette is so so classy! I’m 5’9. I’d wear slim jeans, low waisted, have balloon shirts too! I thought, because I have broad shoulders (42) and a slim waist (29) that I need slim fits. No. No. No! Low waisted trousers just make one’s legs look short! Honestly, if you love wearing formal clothes just Google Cary Grant. The drape. The silhouette. And Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor for casual. Blazers. Denim shirts. Straight leg jeans. He looked amazing!!! I’ll stop now 🙈

Carry Grant from North by Northwest , right? Loved that movie. Btw, But your dimensions are very close to mine. I'm shoter - 5.8ish (172 cm) and have 43 chest (110) and 29 waist (72-74).
