Hi @dghealy , a charcoal or black sport coat is not something anyone on here would recommend. If you're stuck with it, the best thing he could wear it with is light/medium grey trousers. Cheers.

@dghealy why is a black or charcoal blazer a no go?

why is black or charcoal a no go?

black is very severe and does not compliment many skin tones. It is too fashion forward for most business'. It looks horrible in daylight.

Charcoal (as a sport coat) because it is notoriously challenging to match with anything else. Although a tweed herringbone jacket with charcoal grey or black in it is one of the most versatile things you can own (go figure).

Charcoal makes a fine suit.

thank you so much ! this make perfect sense.

but , what about a glen plaid which is primarily grays?

The particular example you offer here exemplifies one of the potential problems, namely it looks more like an ‘orphaned’ suit coat than a sport coat. Not everyone is bothered by that, but many are.

I really want a linen or linen blend grey glen plaid with patch pockets to wear with white pants in the summer.
