Jacket Weather Calls For a Sport Coat

When a jacket is necessary to keep warm, it might as well set the tone for your ensemble and be your centerpiece.  Here I have a nice gunclub check sport coat in perfectly autumn colors--the small check pattern keeps the jacket appropriate for the office, but still distinctly different than a standard blazer and interesting enough to be the centerpiece in the outfit.  To compliment the jacket, and keep the fall feel, I've chosen an ecru oxford button down.  A solid navy repp weave tie isn't too dressy, and avoids any clash with the pattern of the jacket.  A navy small print pocketsquare completes the top--if thatt seems like too much for your environment, white linnen would work too.  Charcoal flannnel trousers--go to trousers from October to February around here--some nice olive socks, and brown calfskin bluchers complete the bottom.

  1. Awesome. Sadly I don't have the confidence to add the print square.
