What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Tan Heels

The best jacket colours to wear with tan heels are navy, black and charcoal. Tan against navy gives strong contrast and a relaxed, warm-weather feel. Brown, olive, dark brown and beige also work. Be careful with tan: a leather jacket is more casual than heels, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tonal tan works when the pieces differ in texture or shade.
