I was thinking of pairing this shirt (ignore the tie) with a Navy odd jacket with jeans. It's for a casual after-work drinks at the bar. The lavender shirt is a fairly bright color and stands out more than in the picture. Any thoughts on how well it would work with an odd jacket? Edit: Oops, I could have sworn I pasted the link

. Only picture I found of the shirt was at overstock, but it's still the same shirt at my local tailor. http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/L11578609.jpg

You definitely want an air tie to go with that.

Lavender shirt + navy odd jacket sounds like a winning combo to me, so long as it all fits well.

I was referencing the lack of a picture.

I do lavender and navy all the time. You'll be fine.

seriously...I have an ISAIA lavender shirt and that thing gets worn more times than anything in my wardrobe. Something about that color....it makes basic colors like brown, grey, black, and navy really pop.
