00:00 Introductions
Sportcoats (also called sports jackets, sports coats, or sports jackets), which are tailored jackets designed to be worn without matching trousers, definitely get less attention when thinking about the basics. Even if you wear a sport coat, most people will compliment you by saying “nice suit” or “I like your suit” because the general public is less aware of the differences.
01:40 History
They have been considered secondary to suits because they’re less formal. Originally appeared in the latter half of the 19th century to be worn for outdoor sporting activities like shooting, fishing, and riding horses, so strictly not for business.
5 Advantages of Sport Coats
02:57 1. People won’t assume you’re from the office.
It has less of an obvious connection with work and business, so you can wear it more widely.
04:06 2. A sport coat fits into the business casual dress code.
With a sport coat, you can indulge your interest in classic style at work with less risk of sticking out like a sore thumb, especially if you don’t wear a tie.
05:40 3. A sport coat is easier to dress down.
You can wear a sport coat more freely to places that aren’t formal settings like the movies, on the weekend, to drinks on Friday night, etc.
07:25 4. A sport coat has greater durability than a suit.
The fabrics used for sport coats are purposely intended to make them tough and durable because they were originally designed for outdoor activities in the country.
10:24 5. A sport coat allows more style possibilities.
First, if you like patterns, a sport coat lets you use them on a larger scale. Secondly, simply by adding a pair of pants, you introduce complexity and more possibilities into an outfit.
12:28 Conclusion
While a suit is an easy option, it is the more formal choice and can look like you’re at the office. The advantages of a sport coat boil down to its versatility as you can wear one on more occasions and in multiple ways. For that reason it’s truly appreciated by true connoisseurs of classic men’s style.
