What Colour Tops to Wear with Light Blue Denim Jacket

The best top colours to wear with a light blue denim jacket are navy, black and white. Light blue against navy is a tonal classic; it reads polished without trying. Grey, cream, olive and green also work. Avoid pink: an oxford shirt is dressier than a denim jacket, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: two bright colours with no clear relationship (light blue, pink) compete; add a neutral between them.
