What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Brown Wide-Leg Pants

The best jacket colours to wear with brown wide-leg pants are navy, beige and black. Navy and brown is the classic pairing: warm against cool, clearly different in depth. Khaki, camel, tan and grey also work. Be careful with light blue: a denim jacket is more casual than wide-leg pants, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm brown; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
