What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Light Blue Linen Shirt

The best jacket colours to wear with a light blue linen shirt are navy and black. Light blue against navy is a tonal classic; it reads polished without trying. Olive, denim blue, brown and dark brown also work. Be careful with camel and light blue: a blazer is dressier than a linen shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm camel; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
