When it comes to building a wardrobe that works as hard as you do, the right dress pants and dress shirts make all the difference. At Q. Contrary, we’ve hand-selected new arrivals from some of the best brands in menswear—David Donahue, Ballin, NN.07, and Greyson Clothiers—to help you look sharp whether you’re heading into the office, attending a client dinner, or celebrating the holidays with family and friends.

Classic Pairings, Elevated for Fall

The timeless combination of a dress shirt and sport coat never goes out of style. But this season, don’t overlook how versatile sweaters can be in your wardrobe. For example, pair the charcoal textured pant from Ballin with a crisp white-and-purple dress shirt and layer on a luxurious wine-colored sweater. The result? A polished look perfect for fall gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Why Brown Belongs in Your Closet

Grey slacks may be a staple, but dark brown trousers add richness and variety. Our new arrivals prove just how sharp this color can look. Pair these Ballin pants with a white dress shirt featuring a subtle blue micro-pattern and a cozy green sweater. This combination not only sets you apart but also captures the warmth of the season.

Modern Alternatives to Wool Slacks

If you’re looking for a stylish break from traditional dress pants, NN.07’s cotton chinos are the answer. Clients love their comfort and versatility—wear them with a classic white or light blue shirt and dress shoes for a refined, modern office look. They’re a great reminder that dressing well doesn’t always mean wool slacks.

Fit Notes & Styling Advice

At Q. Contrary, we want you to feel confident in every piece you buy. A few tips as you shop:

• Ballin pants run slightly small, so we suggest sizing up from your regular jeans size.

• David Donahue shirts fit true to size. If you prefer a slimmer, tie-free look, consider sizing down a half-neck (e.g., from 17 to 16.5).

• Need help pulling it all together? I’d love to help curate your look—simply stop by the shop or reach out directly.
