Trim shorts, a structured jacket. No doubt, it is a casual look, but I think it is quite sophisticated. I beg to differ; it’s all about fit.

I don't think one should aim to look 'sophisticated' when putting on shorts. Shorts and a blazer make me think of three-year-old ring bearers in weddings, who at that age look cute in the miniature version of a sophisticated adult. Shorts go to two levels of dress: relaxed daytime with flip flops and a t-shirt. Bump it up a notch to casual nighttime with stylish sneakers (Diesels, Pumas) and a sharp one-color athletic jacket in a good brand (Fred Perry, Lacoste). I don't see the need to try and pull shorts into the realm of 'sophisticated' by pairing it with anything. If weather is the issue, non-wool pants with a shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows would do for the next step. Not feeling love for this outfit.
