Through the years, I've acquired a modest collection of very high-end dark-colored button-down sport shirts (on a deep navy blue, charcoal, or dark brown ground) from brands such as Etro, Eton, Zegna, and Stenstroms. They are all quite gorgeous and fit me beautifully. The patterns include florals, geometrics, stripes, and checks.
As stand-alone pieces, these shirts work great when paired with jeans, chinos, or dress pants. I know the convention is to go from light to dark (from the closest to the outermost garment) for layering. Still, I wonder how you gents might approach introducing these intense, deep-hued shirts to sport coats, blazers, shackets, knits, or suits to build high-interest ensembles. Everything I see out there shows light shirts underneath darker clothing.
