What Colour Tops to Wear with Brown Puffer Jacket

The best top colours to wear with a brown puffer jacket are navy, white and grey. Navy and brown is the classic pairing: warm against cool, clearly different in depth. Cream, black, camel and sage also work. Be careful with olive and forest green: brown and olive are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
