Hey, I have a question and I really need it answered by tomorrow XD... I'm considering trying to dress up my uniform (a required shirt) with a sport coat... I'm considering nice jeans, the shirt (a tan dress shirt... I'm not sure I have a tie to go with it or not) and a navy coat... Any ideas on this look?
Short notice question!

You're wearing jeans to go to church? This is something new to me. I'd wear a plain navy colored tie.

I may be the last guy to listen to, but I think the look sounds good. Only caution might be if the shade of jean and coat are too close, but even then I think it is okay. I might prefer to wear a tweed jacket, but I think your suggestion will look just as nice.
Go for it.
+1 on the tweed jacket. Tweed and denim jeans work well together. If you've got a jacket with elbow patches, so much the better.
If you normally don't wear a tie with this shirt, then there's no need to wear one now.
If you do normally wear a tie, you already know which ones go with that shirt.
You'll know in short order if the new look "fit's in" ... if it doesn't, just take off the sport coat.

I'd be a little concerned about the navy/jeans being too close in color, but if you really want to try it then go ahead. The only thing I'm not clear on is the idea of the required shirt, then the mention of a an shirt. Is the tan shirt the required shirt?
AND......I just realized this thread is almost a week old. So, how'd it go?

After the fact, but I really like jeans and a sport coat.
+1. Tweed (especially brown herringbone, if you have one) jacket and denim should work well IMO.

I tried it and my only sport coat still looked a bit too "dressy" for the jeans+cotton blend button down so I didn't wear it... However I was the only one wearing it tucked int and with a proper leather belt and my fancy snake skin boots
Well done ... a bit of effort is all it takes to be the best dressed guy in the room! (The boots sound nice too.)
