Just got a Linen Jacket (off-white) from Banana republic and was thinking of pairing it with a pair of Levi's 501s and black wing-tips. Would that look good?

yea, Sure would, make sure the blazer fits properly. Black is good but try brown wings if you have a pair...the color will play better with the indigo and off white...need not be said but also wear a brown belt...good luck
What top you going with btw...

As this is for warmer evenings, be sure to go sockless, aka wear loafer socks from BR. Great summertime look with loafers or oxfords of any color.
And to reiterate Max's advice, that blazer's got to look like it was cut for you. 501's are very form-fitting, so a sloppy linen blazer will kill the svelte GQ look that you're going for.
Good luck.

Given that you are wearing jeans, I'm guessing the level of formality is not super high. If you have a pair of great sneakers, I would rock those instead of the black wingtips. I'm not anti-black wingtip, but I agree with the other fellas that it maybe isn't the best combo. Other than that, the linen, shirt, and jeans are a win.
A great pair of tennis shoes (suede, nubuck, or something of the "dressier" tennis shoe variety) can really work well with being a little dressier but not super dressed up.
