sportcoats

Semiformal men's outerwear

Sportcoats are casual or semi-formal jackets worn with trousers that don't match, distinguishing them from suit jackets.

Originally designed for outdoor sporting activities, they now serve as versatile wardrobe pieces for settings between casual and formal: He threw on a sportcoat over his jeans for the dinner party.
