Well..it's very light. The style reminds me of something you'd more see at A&F but I got it at Guess. You're saying you're supposed to match the jacket color with the pants? I was thinking dark/light or light/dark would be the way to go..but it matches nothing I have. I tries khakis, board shorts, etc, with little success. Basically I bought this thing on the spur of the moment when I was in there buying some other stuff and later realized I have no clue what to wear it with.
