sport coats

Dressy casual outerwear

Sport coats are men's jackets worn as separates rather than as part of a matching suit.

They originated as informal country wear for outdoor activities—hunting, shooting, riding—and remain less formal than suit jackets or blazers.

Sport coats typically feature bolder patterns, textured fabrics, or contrasting buttons: He wore a tweed sport coat with jeans.

Also called sports jackets or sport jackets.
