What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Black Slip Dress

The best jacket colours to wear with a black slip dress are black, camel and beige. Black with black is a classic, unbroken line; vary textures (leather, knit, satin) so it doesn't flatten. Khaki, grey, charcoal and olive also work. Be careful with dark brown: a leather jacket is more casual than a slip dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: black and dark brown are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
