You may also alternatively wear chinos in subtle and dark shades. Your shirt can be navy blue, mauve or even wine colored shirt. Make sure it is a dress shirt and is well tucked in. You can put on a belt with this look too but make sure it matches your brogues! A watch is a must. This look is ideal for blazers in shades of greys and browns. It is great especially for cold weathers as it keeps you warm. Make sure your sports jacket is not too bright and colorful. It should be a bit conservative as this is a shirt look!

Your denims can be washed but avoid ripped as you have a sports jacket on. You may wear chinos instead of denims. Belt is a compulsory accessory however you may skip the watch if you feel so.
