What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Blue Dress
The best jacket colour to wear with a blue dress is black. Black is a neutral, so it lets blue be the accent without clashing. Charcoal, grey, navy and beige also work. Be careful with light blue and denim blue: a denim jacket is more casual than a dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: blue and light blue sit next to each other on the colour wheel, so they blend (analogous).
