Don't be afraid to have fun with it! Look for sport coats with interesting patterns, fabrics, and details in the pockets so the garment can stand out on its own.

Question

Would a navy blue sports jacket with medium grey pants look okay?

Community Answer

That should be good. Grey goes with anything, and navy is an incredibly versatile color, too.

Question

My wife and I are having a discussion on what color shirt and tie to wear with a gray sport jacket with black or blue pants. Any suggestions?

Community Answer

I'd suggest a white or black shirt with a patterned tie that picks up both the jacket and pants' colors.

Question

Would a navy sport coat go with dark brown pants?

Community Answer

Stay away from dark brown, but a nice medium brown, light coffee, mocha and other similar shades will work best. Pair it with a brown tie.

Question

Can I wear a sports jacket to an early evening outdoor informal party?

Community Answer

Yes, but don't wear a tie. A tie would make you look more formal than the occasion desires.
