I wear sport coats 95% of the time. With dress trousers or a t shirt and jeans it looks great. Once I wore a suit jacket with chinos and a waitress asked me "what's the occasion?" Ever since wearing sport coats, I've never gotten asked that, only compliments.

As a student I've been looking for a way to incorporate classic menswear into my closet without looking too out of place. Sport coats, being cheaper, more durable, and more casual than suits are a great option. They have a academia look to them and are abundant in thrift stores. I particularly like your outfit here Mr. Schlueter.

Great topic, and especially "style beginners" should pay heed! Allthough I'd contest that neither a sports jacket/trouser combination nor a full suit are per se "better" than the other. It all comes down to occasion and surroundings, a lesson which I wished I learned earlier. After deciding that I needed to "up my style game" a couple of years ago, I was convinced that I need to wear suits. Not for business reasons (where a clean longlseeve shirt and dress slacks are considered "posh"), but just for myself. Searched long and hard for that "perfect suit" until I had one made (not bespoke, just made to measure). In the end, I wasn't really wearing it all that much for different reasons: People in a business enviroment who themselvers are not dressing up are easily intimidated if you wear a full (three piece) suit. People outside of work might even react low key hostile. You will also need to got "fully dressed", including a necktie, "good shoes" and possibly a coat if its colder. You're kinda stuck with that look that's not always fitting the occasition and might even project a not-too-accurate image of a "big player" when it's not appropriate to do so. With a sports jacket, you have much more freedom to "dress down", including jeans and even (subtle) sneakers, sweaters and cardigans (which - together with a thicker material sport jacket - might make a coat obsolete) and often no neckwear at all. You'll look much more approachable and "easy going" while not really feeling any less stylish.

Another advanatge with a sportcoat over suit is that, (as long as the trousers dont belong to another suit) you can clean them or replace them sperately as the coulours are already diffrent from each other and usually contrast. (something to think about if you cant afford dry cleaning bills and a matching suit would need to be sent together due to the process' decolourisation. If you do opt for a suit, its a good idea to buy an extra pair of trousers that macth the same fabric.

The climate plays a role though. For instance the average daily high temperatures are only around 20 degrees Celsius in the UK and the weather mostly sucks. But in continental Europe wearing any sort of jacket becomes unbearable by the end of May (unless you're in some business lobby with AC on). My point is that the Britons have an "excuse" for wearing their jackets. But if you're in Greece for instance you'll drown in sweat before 8 PM even while wearing a polo shirt.

I have found sport coats or blazers to be more useful for me than suits ever have been. Suit trousers always need so much taken in at the waist that the pockets end up being oddly placed. No, not willing to pay for bespoke. Sport coats and blazers make it very simple to get jackets that fit to work with trousers that fit. They are the Swiss Army knife of menswear. What do you need it to be for the occasion? Whatever it is, you can make it happen, with the ability to use a wide color pallet in more than just ties & squares. I think it highly plausible that most men could make it through a wide variety of life’s occasions with some sport coats and complementary pairings for the majority along with a tuxedo for the truly formal occasions.

Good phrase, "the Swiss army knife of menswear." I thought about having a green sports coat made to order, but they only had one or two shades of green. The closest I've come to buying a bespoke suit. I'm fortunate that I can usually find sports jackets that fit me off the rack. I had a tailor that I kept very busy back in the nineties though. I gave her so much business that she fixed the inside pockets on my leather jacket for no charge.

If I had to choose just one I will take a sport coat over a suit every time. In the UK I don't think they really make the distinction between a sport coat and blazer. The right one will go just about anything halfway sensible be it jeans and a t-shirt or sweater or you can dress it up with a smart shirt and chinos. I have a charcoal cotton flannel jacket I bought from Marks and Spencer's and it's just crazy versatile. The only thing it doesn't work well with is bad weather.

Number one, get a corduroy sports coat to start with. I think it's the best introduction to sports coats. You can wear them with jeans or chinos. A turtleneck looks good with a corduroy sports coat. It's been enough years gone by that few people with think it looks like the sixties or seventies. Also, turtlenecks seem to be making a comeback. I heard someone comment recently that he's seen more younger people wearing them. It looks good with a dress shirt or a flannel and a thin to medium crew neck sweater. For more casual, a henley shirt and jeans.

Even though my city is supposed to be highly fashion-forward, I rarely see suits here. In Ausitn, a sport coat is as formal as anyone ever gets, even for a public event, and that or a blazer is honestly enough to make you *stand out* in many business settings. For myself, I need something dressy enough to wear with a tie, and casual enough to wear with good jeans if necessary. This looks like the way to go.

I think that starting with a navy or grey suit is only good if the buyer actually intends to wear the suit outside formal events. However, having a couple of sport coats can in fact fulfill the role of a less formal suit. Especially today when "business casual" is an acceptable dress code. Pair it with chinos or dark jeans and you're (mostly) covered. For formal occasions like weddings, graduation ceremonies or funerals it's still best to own a black suit.

My rule of thumb is- Green and brown go with blue, despite the archaic "Blue and green must never be seen." Dark blue jeans or olive chinos can go with almost any sport coat. You can also go with that same color trouser in a different shade, but don't match it too close or it will look like a poor attempt at making a suit with separates. Medium brown with chocolate brown, etc. Also, I only put one item with pattern in the clothes combination. You have to have a bit of skill to mix patterns. But one pattern with the rest solid colors is an easy way to keep from too much of a busy look. Experience and videos like this will give you the confidence to go beyond that. I normally play it safe.

If you're going to own only one piece of tailoring, make it a business suit. If you're building a collection, start with a business suit. There are situations where there are just no alternatives. And obviously, if you're required to wear a suit to work every day for work, make sure you have enough of a rotation. But even most professional offices are relaxing their dress code. And they probably work in a wider range of situations outside of work. But I think more importantly than this is that I tend to wear through worsted wool suit trousers much faster than their jacket. And then if you can't find that exact fabric again, the orphaned jacket can become unwearable. Sportcoats and odd trousers avoid this problem and both tend to come in harder wearing fabric, so each last longer. You can also mix and match, creating more outfits with fewer pieces. So when you can wear an item more times, in more situations, with more other things in your wardrobe, that's where it makes sense to spend more money.

You can still regulary use them and send them to dry cleaning, and still have one when you need one. If you dont rotate them, when you need one it will no longer fit you, be dirty or broken.

I love sport costs for casual situation and use to wear them all the time but with COVID I haven’t been going anyplace where I need to dress.

Even if, the channel has done a video on the death of suits and I was really optimistic about the survivorship of classic men's wear, I am no longer. A post covid classic men's wear video is sth I am looking for. BR

Great video. I think it’s good especially for beginners with lower budget like me to buy a high quality suit in vintage secondhand and than combine trousers or jacket with other jacket or trousers in different color/pattern. It has to match well of course. So you have more or less causal quality outfits for less money. But I think gentleman’s already mentioned this in some of their videos before. Btw. when I’m wearing the sport coat is it necessary that the cuffs of shirt were out of the sleeve as they at suit should be? I’m always not sure.

Answer me this, I’m looking at some 40s style wool trousers and a waistcoat in a nice light blue. Would those pair well with a heavyweight ivory herringbone linen coat for casual wear?

I definitely plan on buying at least 3. What 3 would you recommend? I figure brown, tan, and a checked Tweed but let me know and if you mention it in the video my apologies must've missed it. Been upgrading my style since I get bored of some modern garments not all though excellent content as always!

My first jacket was too cheap, but I still like the pattern in small blue and white checks. my second is a grey-blue tweed with a fuchsia line in the weave, excellent for Winter. I also have a woollen blue sport jacket in an interesting weave and a blue linnen jacket for Summer. I should get a brown one some day, too.

@@barvdw Sounds fascinating I appreciate your insight. I live in a state where it tends to get hot a lot so I only need about 3 or 4 jackets to keep it minimal. Maybe 3 sport coats and 1 more casual jacket that's lightweight. I'm debating on getting a traditional Navy Blue Wool Blazer or if I should go for a linen/cotton Blazer to wear with linen shirts. Hope you're doing well. By the way I agree a brown sport coat is a must have.

I have been wearing jeans and T-shirts or hoodies. But I'm getting too old for that life, so tell me where is a good place to get a sport jacket at a reasonable price in America? Men's Warehouse? Macy's?

I prefer a sport coat over a suit unless it's for a very formal occasion. I wore sport coats to clubs, I wear them to work sometimes, and I wear one to sing karaoke. So anyways things can go with a sport coat.
