I think all 3 look ok.
Now, if we could somehow get the 60 plus crowd to move away from the white, short sleeved 60’s NASA engineer shirt and to something a little more functional and comfortable (but still ultra professional for you, whack), it would be the biggest QOL hike since they installed the cockpit door.
Military aviators don’t fly in business suits with epaulettes, and yet the public seems to have respect for them.
Lots of corporate guys wear slacks and a polo. I have never seen them being scoffed at in the FBO.

Our operation required slacks with shirt and company ties. Theory was that our passengers knew what we were paid so...play the part.
Sister company had monogrammed golf shirts/slacks. We were jealous.

The blazer is a very polished, professional, NON FUNCTIONAL, and traditional look. Sorry, but I’m old school when it comes to airline pilot attire.
............and yes, the flying public does respect you more if you look and act the part of a professional.

I will wear the blazer out of professionalism and if the temps are higher than 45. Below that, and the sacrificial cow makes an appearance because it is functional.
The karbon jacket is flat out gay....not that there is anything wrong with that.
