Maybe it was the music, atmosphere, co-actor but the black suit/black tie and gray print shirt in the Heineken commercial looks smooth...is it a good look, or pass?

Here is the links, sans black jacket:

I don't like dark shirts with coat and tie either. But that shirt is horrible. Dark shirts with a tie make me think of mobsters, even if Regis made it "hip" for a few minutes.

Farmgate: This is such a cool look! SF Groupthink: Lighter colors are elegant. Light blue shirts, white shirts, even light pink. Farmgate: But...but...but....it's cool! Even Jet Li does it!

Notice also how his jacket sleeves are almost entirely swallowing his hands. And he has both buttons done up.

No.

But you could get a white shirt and be a Blues Brother.
