What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Dark Brown Loafers

The best jacket colours to wear with dark brown loafers are camel, beige and grey. Dark brown and camel are both earth tones with enough difference in depth. Khaki, olive, tan and navy also work. Be careful with light blue: a denim jacket is more casual than loafers, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm dark brown; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
