I wore them yesterday morning to go to the post office (Xmas cards, anyone else is this late?). I wore them with my selvedge chambray shirt and cashmere shawl cardigan in navy:
The belt is new and is currently sold in the stores. I usually wait for belts to go on sale but this one is NAVY. I don't remember the last time that I saw a navy belt and numerous times I thought that I could really use one, so I bought it with the 30% off (it is $39.50 FP). If you need a navy belt I highly reccomend it (let me know if you need the style number). I took a S in this belt and the fit is perfect to wear with pants.
I more or less lounged in my lounge clothes for the rest of the day and wore the pants again yesterday night to have dinner with husband and friends at an upscale restaurant in the neighborhood. Husband was late from work and met us directly at the restaurant, so I took advantage of the fact that he couldn't see me getting ready and say a thing about my outfit and showed up like this:
The cami (that you can't see well in the pic) is the Lisette from last year. I love this cami, the lace detail is so pretty and delicate. The belt was called crystalline belt, also from last year and you know the jacket. I liked this outfit a lot and husband didn't comment on the pants or jacket (good thing, as you know). Also people at the restaurant were dressed to the nines, as I haven't seen in a long time so I felt comfortable, if a bit extravagant.
All in all the Cafe trousers are very versatile (and again the wool feels wonderful against the skin, it isn't itchy at all). You can get them now in store in this color for $89.99 less 30% off (as of two weeks ago, so now even less probably).
Do you dress in black and red for the holidays?
