What’s the deal with sports coats and T-shirts? *seinfeld voice*

I see quite a bit of mixed consensus on whether or not is it good taste to wear a T-shirt under a sports coat. Also, I’m having a hard time finding some solid visual references. Appreciate any input!

@minnowpark i would play t-shirt + sport coat by eye. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. with a suit, I think this is easier to pull off when you are wearing a casual suit, not a dark worsted business suit. so like a brown linen suit

depends on the blazer / sportscoat and the rest of the outfit really also note the 2 inspo albums are a bit dated. it's fine wearing less slim fitting pants nowadays

I think it’s difficult to pull off unless you really really know what you’re doing. If you don’t have a lot of complementary pieces that show you are wearing a t shirt and blazer intentionally, you risk looking like a tech ceo going into an investor meeting

It's hard to pull off well, I think art does a good job here with it

To my eye, the things that make his fit work are the beanie and Bostons, which take a navy suit about as casual as it can go The choice of a vintage graphic tee rather than a super clean blank tee also works nicely here

Compare that to a bad fit like this, where the slim jeans, minimal white sneakers, and blank tee make the whole fit look really sterile, there's no personality there, and the blazer isn't a well thought out addition to the outfit

Tldr I agree with Derek, it's an eye test thing (or, if you will, a skill check thing)

I’ve been liking the look of a horizontal stripe tee with a causal suit or sport coat. Good summer look

It’s not my style however it can be done if the pieces are chosen well. The sportcoat has to be casual as do the trousers. Don’t wear orphaned suit jackets for this outfit.

One thing I would worry about with tshirt and sport coat is the lack of collar and sleeves on the t-shirt. That means the sport coat will be in direct contact with your skin absorbing sweat. And they can be a bitch to wash.

I don't do tee shirts anymore but that sport coat/sport coat substitute better be casual. I'm talking fabric-wise, pattern-wise, weave-wise. Madras sport coat with a tee and some crisp cream chinos in the summer sipping a mojito? Why not? <:pepe_shrug:874118001627115560> I'd just go with a polo but that's me.
