What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Blue Maxi Dress

The best jacket colour to wear with a blue maxi dress is black. Black is a neutral, so it lets blue be the accent without clashing. Navy, beige, light blue and khaki also work. Be careful with camel: a blazer is dressier than a maxi dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: blue is cool and bright against warm camel; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
