It’s the Inaba Double Breasted linen suit jacket from Benjamin Barker. I would like to know any advice to style this?

I recommend not buying that. The cut and quality of the coat don't look very good, at least from photos on the company's website. The coats fit very trim and short. The contrast buttonholes are a bit tacky. The price point for a tailored jacket is suspiciously low.

Linen sport coats are sometimes a little more difficult to wear because you have to take into account the rumpled texture. Double-breasted sport coats are also more difficult to wear than single breasted. Lighter jackets harder to wear than dark. And so forth. When you combine the cut and quality of that coat, it will likely be a bad purchase.
