Key Highlights

The classic sports jacket is a versatile wardrobe essential, perfect for when a suit feels too dressy. Here's how to style it for different occasions:

• Plain Sports Jacket: Pair with solid or subtly patterned shirts, grey flannel trousers, dark chinos, or jeans. Complete the look with loafers, oxfords, or boots.

• Patterned Sports Jacket: Opt for patterns like glen check or Prince of Wales check in colors such as browns, greens, tans, and lighter blues. Balance with solid shirts and trousers.

• Blazer: Choose a classic navy blazer with silver, brass, or gold buttons, made from wool, serge, worsted, hopsack, flannel, herringbone, or twill. Ideal for formal settings and nautical summer styles.

• Styling Tips: For casual looks, pair your sports jacket with dark denim jeans, a crisp shirt, and boots or loafers. For smart casual, combine it with cotton chinos, a shirt, and loafers or minimal sneakers. For formal occasions, pair with standalone slacks or trousers, a pressed shirt, an optional tie, and quality shoes like loafers, oxfords, or derbies.
