What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Navy Quarter-Zip Sweater

The best jacket colours to wear with a navy quarter-zip sweater are olive, brown and khaki. Olive and navy are both muted, so they sit together without competing. Light blue, dark brown, tan and burgundy also work. Be careful with charcoal: an overcoat is dressier than a quarter-zip sweater, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: navy and charcoal are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
