Need some advice (disclaimer I am a ignorant noob)
Since discovering SF, as most newbs, I have realized the error of my ways in regard to a myriad of fashion choices and purchases I have made in the past.
So here is the deal, awhile back, I came across a black linen sport coat that fit pretty much perfectly. I needed a light wight casual coat for "going out", so I picked it up since it was on deal @ 40 off. I know black SC's are defiantly not SF approved; from what I gather, linen coats are a bit more widely accepted because of the texture and overall casual look of the coat (could be wrong).
My question is this: what is the general consensus on black linen coats in regard to casual evening wear? I realize dark denim probably works with said coat. how about a slim fitting linen trouser and obviously you can pair with grey wool trousers. What button down shirt combinations might work?
Is there no hope for a black linen SC?
