How do you wear your linen jacket?

[inmytree14]

Just snagged a nice linen jacket, and while it's not yet warm enough to break it out here in the northeast, I was wondering what some of your favorite combos are.

For instance [just looking in my closet]:
off white linen jacket with cream linen pants - too close in color? too linen suit-y?
suitable with white/powder blue seersucker pants?
too ugly with nantucket reds? [i'm aware of a general SF hatred of these pants]

And yes, I've check out the wayw thread, but since it's currently out of season for most, perusing the many many posts isn't ideal.

Jeans, khakis, tan, grey, olive trou. And in my case, I do wear linen pants as it really is a suit.

Jeans, no question about it.

Really? I must've missed that.

I have beautiful Luciano Barbera cream colored linen jacket that I first began wearing with pearl gray (light gray) pants and then have since worn almost exclusively with jeans. For some reason I don't like the look of it with khaki's or cotton twill pants.
