Don't blow a gasket, K. It's all for fun, yes?
Let's not oversell this look. I like it too, but aside from the suede shoes, it is merely a solid, well-executed fit, well-tailored, and colors are nicely chosen for a muted palette: blue blazer, gray trousers, dark solid (or near solid) textured tie, and brown belt/shoes. I would thumb it, but that's consistent with finding it just solid.
"Optimal" might not be the best choice of words, but the point is something as to how you might feel about this comparison from Murl (and assume the first one is an odd jacket and not part of a suit which it is, tastefully chosen for a sober event):
There are other factors here, but abstract away from them. Were the first an odd jacket, sure, it can look good even with navy pants (
; see Greg's), but accessories/shirt aside, I like the second more as a gray jacket (and have learned to). Maybe the way to put it is which would be your first pick and then, where in the chain of SCs that you might acquire would the gray solid? If you rank them in the order I do, then why?
