What Colour Tops to Wear with Blue Denim Jacket

The best top colours to wear with a blue denim jacket are white, black and navy. White with blue denim is the default casual pairing for a reason: clean contrast, no clash. Cream, beige, camel and brown also work. Be careful with pink and forest green: an oxford shirt is 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 pink be the accent without clashing.
