yeah, those are pretty gauche, for the most part.

I suppose the mustard colored jacket or pinkish linen ones could be worn by a stylish italian in the warmer weather, but harder to pull off here.

I've actually been looking for something like the olive colored one, tho-- i need a greenish jacket, to wear with cargo pants and a blue and white checked shirt. saw it in a bergdorf display some time ago, by our favorite sartorialst blogger.

I remember 3 years ago this was the fashion colors for spring... every Italian maker have their versions..

I got one jacket in a pastel green, but I gave it away as my gf found it to be a too gay color

I have not an eye for style as well developed as most here. But I can tell you those pieces look way too tacky for me.

I'm not a big fan of dayglo colors, even in Spring.

I can see wearing the green sportcoat in the right circumstance. These pale in comparison to some Oxxford and Brioni items I have seen.

I see nothing wrong with the green and red jackets at the very end. In fact, they look rather nice.

The mustard leather jacket with a nice pair of jeans would work easily, and the green sportcoat with gray wool pants would be easy. I don't know about the rest.

The mustard sportcoat would work with a pair of light cream wool pants in the summer but that bright a yellow looks like it could be either a century-21 agent or the sportcoat for a country club.

I'd wear most of these pieces, though I probably wouldn't buy them.

I thought in Europe you could wear any color and not be concerned with homophobia? Or is that just in France and Italy?
