What Colour Shoes to Wear with Blue Denim Jacket

The best shoe colours to wear with a blue denim jacket are white, black and tan. White with blue denim is the default casual pairing for a reason: clean contrast, no clash. Brown, cream, navy and beige also work. Be careful with burgundy: loafers are dressier than a denim jacket, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: denim blue is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
