What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Grey Sneakers

The best jacket colours to wear with grey sneakers are black, navy and olive. Two neutrals with clear contrast: grey and black always sit well together. Dark brown, beige, brown and cream also work. Be careful with grey and camel: a blazer is dressier than sneakers, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: head-to-toe grey is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
