The Evolution of the Men’s Sport Coat

The sport coat is emerging as an exciting fashion category for men this spring. It is evolving from the staid, country club, Saturday night garment of choice into a younger hip fashion garment to be worn over denim or flat front casual slacks. The looks are loose, soft and more casual with an emphasis on color, pattern and silk, linen, or seersucker fabrications. Worn over a t-shirt and denim or over a bold stripe sport shirt and flat front pants, the “new” sport coat is a great way to introduce a hip casual attitude into your wardrobe.
