I own that same jacket, or one very similar. I never button it, and I won't wear it when the weather cools down. It's an excellent summer jacket. Having three buttons is unfortunate but this hasn't dissuaded me from wearing the jacket regularly. Wear it with a linen pocket square or a light colored cotton, a silk knit tie or unbutton the top two buttons... consider the third button sprezzaturra. Wear light colored trousers. I really like this jacket.

Looks pretty versatile and a great look. I would think navy blue slacks, khakis, bright red pants, and jeans could all be pulled off pretty easily with that jacket.

I would agree with this, for the record. I would almost treat a blue jacket like a light blue shirt. Just about any colour works. My issue is solely with the three buttons (I think it looks frumpy, especially on a more casual sportcoat), and I would also hope that it fits properly. Nice silhouette and so on.
