Upscale Outing Outfit
Why is it a Find? You’ll never go wrong with this versatile blue plaid sport coat from Peter Millar when you are headed out for a nice brunch – or any daytime event this season. The wool, silk and linen blend fabric is lightweight, offering that just-right Summer look and feel. And the quality and cut will easily withstand the test of time.

Peter Millar - Crown Collection Pacific Pants

Why is it a Find? Peter Millar’s linen and cotton blend fabric elevates these timeless flat front pants for a dressier look that works so well with the highlighted sport coat (above) – and will quickly work into your office and dining out wardrobe options all season long.
Wear it with: The blended linen fabric highlights the linen blend of the jacket – and ensures it won’t get that overly wrinkled look 100% linen gets once you sit down. These have a more polished, yet still natural, look. The neutral beige shade is so easy to coordinate with sweaters, sport coats and solid or pattern button up shirts. And as we always say, a good-looking belt is a must – this dark tan suede one is truly ideal.
Fit Tip: The fit is modern with a mid-rise and enough room for most every gent.
Alternatives: These Everlane pants are a great alternative if you are looking for a more contemporary, somewhat trimmer, fit.
