Layering ideas for this bright PRL shirt

I have this shirt that I quite like but I've never really worked out a way to wear it other than by itself (I mean with trousers obviously ...) It's a great shirt to wear with jeans or light coloured trousers on a sunny day but it seems hard to get it into more advanced fits, for example as a mid layer. Of course it is a very preppy/ivy type of item and I usually don't try to style my outfits in that direction. The only jacket/sport coat that this really works with (for me) is a blue blazer and that combo is a bit to full-on preppy for me.
I've tried tweed coats/ cord overshirts/ suede bombers (and several more) and none of them seem to work for me. The shirt looks too vibrant and perhaps even "dressy" for those slouchy materials. I'd be interested if people have seen pictures of this kind of combo working though.

It seems like the sort of item you should be able to throw into other genres of fit to achieve a preppy/ ivy "splash" but I can't get that to work.
