What Colour Bottoms to Wear with Light Blue Denim Jacket

The best bottom colours to wear with a light blue denim jacket are navy and black. Light blue against navy is a tonal classic; it reads polished without trying. Grey, white, cream and olive also work. Be careful with brown, burgundy and light blue: chinos are dressier than a denim jacket, 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.
