What to Wear With a Sport Coat

Men, don’t worry about what to wear with a sport coat -- the possibilities are endless. One of the most versatile items for a man to own is a sport coat.

What will you wear with your sports coat?

One item that is essential to a man’s wardrobe is a sport coat. Unlike a suit, a sport coat is designed to be worn on its own and as a mix-and-match clothing item. Depending on what you pair one with, they can be worn for casual or business attire. They are appropriate for the office as well as for going out to dinner.

Popular materials for sport coats include:

• Tweed
• Wool
• Linen
• Corduroy
• Cotton
• Silk

A sport coat may be one of the most versatile items in a man’s wardrobe. It can be worn in various ways to create many looks. Some looks to consider:

• A navy or black sport coat can be paired with dress slacks in either charcoal gray, light gray, olive green or tan for a professional and polished look.
• Try a tweed sport coat with a pair of black wool slacks and a turtleneck for a warm winter look.
• A great casual style is a corduroy sport coat, argyle sweater and a pair of dark denim jeans.
• You can’t go wrong with a basic navy wool sport coat, a polo shirt and a pair of khakis for a clean and casual look.
• On a cool, summer night, pair a lightweight sport coat with a solid tee shirt and a pair of pants.

The great thing about a sport coat is that it does not require a tie. Of course, if you adhere to a business casual office dress code, then a shirt and tie may be appropriate. A sport coat can look great with a dressy tee or a crisp white shirt. Sweaters also look great under a sport coat.

Sports coats are easy to find. They are available in the men’s department of stores such as Macy’s or JC Penney and online at various men’s stores such as Brooks Brothers or Mens Wearhouse.
