I think the Streetwear entries have this on lock.

Very interesting silhouettes, patterns, and textures.

This is pretty typical of my very casual wear at this crossover time of year, a casual jacket of blouson style over a BD and worn with dark jeans or cotton trousers.

For me, these pictures also reveal that my style changes only ever so slowly. The Baracuta is around 10 years old and, although the PoloRL BD is here (late last month) on its maiden voyage, I sought out an exact replacement for an earlier shirt that was beginning to show its teeth. So, I guess the cut of my jib is characterised by a very slowly-evolving look based around a few simple core pieces.

An example of my daily gib here in cold and damp Yorkshire.

All reasonably new purchases, except for the Fairisle tank top bought in Gap about 20 years ago, Gant OCBD 5 years old, Folk MiE wool coat, Levis Premium Cargo's and Solovair Hawkins, all bought this year.
My style has remained reasonably constant over the last 40 years, but trending more towards the late 60's street Mod style.
