Menswear
Start with fit
The shoulders should sit on yours and the jacket should button without pulling. Sleeves end near the wrist bone.
Pick a sport coat, not a suit jacket
Textured and patterned sport coats are made to be worn on their own. A suit jacket with jeans usually looks mismatched.
Choose the jeans
Dark, clean denim in a slim or straight cut is the easiest match. Skip rips and heavy fading when the jacket is the star.
Add the shirt
A printed or plain button-up works well. Leave the collar open for a relaxed look, or wear a tee or knit underneath on weekends.
Finish with shoes and socks
Leather shoes or clean, minimal sneakers. Patterned socks are an easy way to add a little personality.
Bring your jeans when you visit and try a few jackets over them.
