why this works:  the blues of the jeans and shirt complement each other well, and the shirt’s gingham pattern provides visual “texture” underneath the jacket — which i don’t love, but the brown is a warm, earthy contrast to the cool blues and greys of the rest of the outfit; a blue or grey jacket would be too monochromatic.  i like the idea of new balances, but i haven’t brought myself to buy a pair yet; nevertheless, the cool grey here is understated and blends well with the jeans and shirt.  the loosely rolled (rather than crisply rolled or folded) cuffs keep the look casual, while fashion-forward socklessness indicates the casualness is intentional not sloppy.  or maybe all his socks are in the laundry
