The Classics
You don’t need a whole suite of them. Just a couple of great ones (single-breasted is fine; so is double) in equally classic colours. The payoff is priceless.
You can wear anything with a smart jacket. Even things that don’t match.

The Striped/Checked
A pattern is not hard to do – as long as the stripes are thin and the checks are small, and they are in black, white or grey.
It doesn’t matter if the sleeves are wide, as long as the jacket still makes you look smart.
