Navy Oxford shirt and olive chinos with a brown jacket

A navy ISTO. Oxford shirt and olive Community Clothing chinos form the base of this layered smart-casual outfit. YMC's brown Palin jacket adds a stronger outer shape and a contrasting collar. The navy, olive and brown combination suits an informal dinner or a day out when you want a jacket-led look without wearing a suit.

Why it works

Olive trousers bridge the dark navy shirt and the jacket's earthy brown colour.
The shirt collar adds definition beneath the jacket while the plain chinos avoid competing details.

How to wear it

Wear the jacket open so the navy shirt remains visible between the brown outer panels.
Try brown boots to continue the earthy colours, or dark loafers for a smarter setting.
