Pattern pairings from my shop
Thea Trousers (Tilly and the Buttons) - Polished everyday trousers; this twill gives a classic chino vibe. (Interface both waistband pieces for a crisp finish.)
Lyra Shirt Dress (Tilly and the Buttons) - A structured, breathable take—great for transitional weather. Add a belt for shape.
Twig Trousers (Style Arc) - Use the trousers view for an easy, relaxed “barrel-leg chino” feel.
Note on jeans: At 195gsm and ~10% stretch, this twill is better suited to chinos than classic jeans. For jeans, see our Olive 10oz stretch denim
