Actually. I think a powder blue linen shirt with a tie would work. I’d much rather a demin sawtooth shirt though

Paisley shirts are your friend with this outfit.

Looks nice. Is it SBPL? What kind of pockets do you have on it? Flapped or jetted? Hard to tell from the pic.

I‘m looking for inspiration for my next SC and want a more „evening out“ vs. corporate look.
Sbpl 1b. Pockets are flapped but I tucked them in so it looks jetted. I think loro piana has a wool silk linen cream with navy chalk stripe which would look good as a jacket. Sbpl 1b config makes for the ultimate going out suit/jacket imo

I've seen it in person; when it comes to VBC, it is what you are looking for.

You are welcome.

I‘m getting this made up next:

It‘s a navy blue herringbone in 100% cashmere from a random mill in Biella. I plan to get a SBPL sport coat, most likely with a single button. What do you guys recommend for pockets? I want a normal, welted breast pocket, but should I go with flapped, jetted or patch side pockets? The intended use is for evening wear, e.g. to a nice restaurant or cocktail party.
