question for Kabbaz.

You should never tuck anything into a pair of jeans.  You'll look like a fool.

Ok, so what does one do when wearing a sport coat and jeans? Honest question here. Should you be wearing a shirt designed to be left untucked in this situation? For some reason my brain says that it would look sillier to have an untucked shirt with a sport coat than to have the same shirt tucked into your jeans when wearing jeans and a coat.

Funny, my brain says something else: DON'T WEAR A SPORTCOAT WITH JEANS. But then my brain is pretty hidebound.

My brain, out-of-step with the times according to many above, would agree with you. Unless you are wearing, for example, a knitted polo or other short shirt in which case I personally might wear it untucked, but wouldn't argue with those who tucked it.

As well you must, obviously being unable to bring yourself to own a pair of bespoke, not-tight jeans.

Untucked. And if the sportcoat is the correct type (fitted, textured, and with a short skirt, and meant to worn with jeans,) it'll look fine. You Oxxford sportcoat will look stupid with jeans whether you tuck in your shirt or not.

Finally, we agree on something.

LA Guy,

Can you give examples for good combinations of jeans-jacket-( and possible shoes). Can you back it up with photos. I am quite struggling with this look.

Will try to do this. Photos will be harder. Will perhaps start a new thread. BrianSD might be able to give some good examples as well.
