The patterned sport coat is not the first suiting item to take up residence in a guy’s closet. That’s a grey or navy suit. It’s not even the second—that’s whichever colored suit you didn’t get the first time. But it can happily be a solid third. Sure you could go with a solid-colored style, but honestly, this feels like the time to live a little, don’t you think?

Check out three ways to wear a patterned sport coat – in three very different looks – for some outfit inspiration:

Perfect for a brisk fall day in the city and any guy with an urban commute. Does it need the fisherman’s cap to make the whole thing work? No. Are we weirdly into it and hope you decide to wear it all jaunty-like anyway? You bet.
