 We lumped sport coats in with work attire, but
you can use them to tighten up your after-work look. The term
sport coat infers recreation, playtime, so there's room for playful
touches like bolder stripes, interesting tailoring, and different
fabrics. One of the best photos of our old band has David in a
vintage 60s sport coat, with muted blue, green, and maroon stripes, and
a t-shirt. The jacket gave him a degree of stylishness, even with
the Doc Marten's. The same rules for suits apply
here sport coats get tailored! The sleeves stop at the break of the
wrist, the tail should cover yours, and the body should be roomy enough
for a sweater and whatever you keep in your pockets, but no more.
Also, remember:
If you have 3 sport coats, make one a single breasted, two-button navy blazer. It's more formal than other sport coats and you can wear it forever.
You can wear a traditional tweed jacket or a navy blazer with jeans, creating a more polished casual look. Great for a date.
Nothing should hang below your coat. Not a shirt, sweater, or anything tied around your waist.
Brian loves a three-button single-breasted coat...
he
bought from an outlet store. It's a traditional-looking coat with
unusual touches, like peaked lapels, which you rarely see on single
breasted coat, and a cockeyed top buttonhole. The playful touches
make it a singular piece that can be dressed up with slacks but it also
looks great with jeans. Not for everyday, but at 10% of its
normal price, how could he say no? |
