yes im a complete incompetent in regards to style. totally fashion blind. so please help me out!!

so, my friend works at a store and i have an opportunity to get for free these two sportcoats. one is a nice wool which id like to use in late fall before i break out the winter coat. the other... well i guess is a 3 season night out thing.

i have these pants as well as khakis and (dark) jeans

and i have 2 pairs of shoes, brown and black (heh)

does anything match? wearing khakis pants and black seems strange to me. wearing dark pants with mismatched sportcoat pattern/fabric also seems strange. if i cant do anything with them, ill just tell my friend to pass them on to someone else who can use it.

thanks!

The striped sportcoat looks too much like part of a suit. The other jacket can be worn with, for example, light gray pants and the presumably tan khakis you don't want to use.
