The jacket needs to be worn with something much more casual or else it will always look like an ice cream man uniform.

Try scruffy facial hair and a cigar.

Nantucket reds? Or the pink pants. I think white jeans would be Bad.

Is that a universal statement about white jeans, or do you think they would be bad with the jacket in question? I thought about pink, but that might be going overboard. I don't like to call attention to myself.

I think white pants with that jacket would be Bad. But now that you mention it, I don't like white jeans. They have a Flashdance vibe to me. That, however, was not the reason for my objection to your suggestion in this context.

Summer or light cream white flannel, brushed cotton, or gab would look good.

One eye-catching item per ensemble, hence no pink.

FWIW, I don't hate the khaki with that coat.

 

[grimslade]

I'd prefer light cream to white.

One advantage of pink, though, would be that no one would notice if you dripped the strawberry.

To get your wish it's best worn as in this video with Miss August. No one will notice you

Wool is not inherently non-summer. Cords are.

Still, if your point is that you want to show instances of your doing things wrong by my calculation, there are plently of other examples.
