Picked up a Tan Camel Hair Sports Coat over the winter and now is the time I can finally wear it.

What would you think goes with it? Today I wore it with dark brown pants and a white shirt with some brown/red in it.

I'm guessing I could also pair it with navy/grey pants? I'm really unclear what color shirts would be appropriate with a tan camel hair and navy/grey pants combination?

Any thoughts?

What is the season for camel hair? When should I take it out and when should I put it away?

just IMO.. camel hair = beige which is an earth tone; grey is, IMO, a metallic. The two don't go well together. Beige + navy or other earth tones is better.

Tan and dark gray look great together, in my book. Blue shirts, either solids or patterns, work well. It's a pretty versatile sportcoat.

I wear my camel hair in fall and winter and the cooler days of early spring.
