Hi!
I'm not really in the market for a suit at the moment, and would rather buy some odd trousers and sport coats, then mix for my style. But I'm clueless about how to avoid buying a sport coat that just looks like an orphaned suit jacket. What general advice can you give me?
Additionally, I'm not really sure how to match trousers with sport coats, since I've read that, if you get the two roughly the same color, it will just look like a bizarre quasi-suit. So what, then, should the trouser be? A lighter shade of the same color? Or related mainly to the shirt rather than the jacket?
Thanks again.
