When you've got that nice look with the shirt and shorts going, why bother? Get yourself a breezy linen shirt to throw on top, sleeves rolled up haphazardly, maybe one button fastened.

Or if you really want to do a jacket try an inherently casual one like an Epaulet Doyle in linen or sashiko. With the sleeves rolled.

Yeah, seems forced.
Agree. The whole thing is a contrived fallacy of logic.
Cold enough to need a jacket? - Cold enough for grown men strides.
Hot enough to eschew your dignity and wear shorts*? - Hot enough that you don’t need a jacket!

*Beach, pool, gym, sports, tropical holidays get a pass of course!

There are plenty of people who want to keep their torso/neck/arms warmer while wearing shorts. Wearing a sportcoat might not be the best way to do it, but it's hardly a logical fallacy
