Thanks a ton for the feedback! I was a bit worried about the color contrast too. The pants are a chocolate color brown. Could I get away with a darker grey or navy color jacket instead? I also have a black unlined jacket but wasn't sure about that combo either. I appreciate the tip about the sleeve length too. I have a feeling that'll be the case with the majority of my shirts.

Interesting, I am curious about the watch strap. Is it kosher to wear the casual cloth strap with an outfit like this? I am wearing something similar (blue blazer, brown leather shoes/belt, light blue shirt, dive watch). However I never wear the NATO straps I have with this kind of outfit, only on the weekend.

Ehh, it's just a matter of taste/preference really. I feel like this outfit is casual and neutral enough that it can bear the weight of one eye-catching accessory, especially since the watch stays hidden under my shirt cuff for the most part.
This outfit is still on the very casual side of businesswear. Only the jacket makes the outfit particularly dressy, but even the jacket is unstructured linen. I probably wouldn't wear a watch on this loud a strap if I were wearing true "conservative business dress." But I do occasionally wear watches on more subdued NATO straps (black, grey, dark blue) with CBD. At a multi-day out-of-state trial last fall, for example, I only brought one watch with me and wore it for all occasions, this understated CW Malvern chrono on a navy blue NATO:

I've never posted pictures of myself, but I am too excited not to! I went to a JCrew Factory location last night and they had the pants I'm wearing on clearance. The final price came to about sixteen dollars, which seems cheaper than anything I've seen at JCrew.
So I guess, if I'm doing it how I've seen others do it:
Shirt: Just GH Bass
Pants: JCrew Factory
Shoes: I'm not sure but they've worked for the last two years.
