I would highly recommend and say that the jacket and pants work better by themselves, paired with other clothes, much better in terms of looks as they give a nice contrast to regular clothes with the corduroy design. So the jacket with a regular t-shirt and pants, works great and looks clean adding some casualiness and design to it. Similarly with the pants and a regular t-shirt. With this I would say it would work for many different occasions beyond casual then. Overall, glad this comes with both even though I rather wear one or the other by themselves for an outfit.
