sportcoat

Semiformal upper garment

A sportcoat is a man's casual jacket worn with trousers that don't match—distinguished from a suit jacket, which comes with matching pants.

Sportcoats originated as informal attire for outdoor activities but now serve as smart-casual dress: He threw on a sportcoat over his jeans.

Also spelled as two words: sport coat.
