Casual Sport's Coat Jacket Layering

[NickJamesBishh]

Hey guys, I'm just started taking the fashion seriously, I'm usually wore a plaid shirts over graphic t-shirt, and some girl told me that I look like a good looking stoner and need step-up my fashion game, I started liking the clothing from J-Crew as they seem to have quality stuff without logos and reasonable prices, I even found a much cheaper prices on ebay. I was thinking wearing this jacket http://www.ebay.com/itm/222508184492?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 with beige chinos and a blue merino wool sweater like that one http://www.ebay.com/itm/222507266321?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 and maybe white washer shirt, what you guys think...

General rule of thumb is to wear a sport coat or jacket that doesn't clash NOR match the shirt. Denim shirt with blue jacket is just too close.

Notice how the picture shows the man with a creame shirt...this is nice. Pink also works. White works...heck, muted orange would also work.

With the color of that jacket, I would stay away from the blue world.

Oh...can't go wrong with beige chinos

Maybe black sweater instead

That would work too.

Have you done research on some style rules and do's and don't's? I ask because you are looking to pair a bold color shirt with muted pants. Just sayin'

Do you live Down Under? If not, a corduroy jacket and merino sweater would not see much use north of the equator until next winter.
