Avoid

Combinations to skip

Skip the olive chinos. Brown and olive are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than a turtleneck, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm brown; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
