What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Navy Sneakers

The best jacket colours to wear with navy sneakers are beige, denim blue and cream. Two neutrals with clear contrast: navy and beige always sit well together. Khaki, olive, tan and brown also work. Be careful with charcoal: an overcoat is dressier than sneakers, 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.
