What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Tan Sandals

The best jacket colours to wear with tan sandals are black, brown and navy. Two neutrals with clear contrast: tan and black always sit well together. Olive, denim blue, dark brown and burgundy also work. Be careful with beige and khaki: a trench coat is dressier than sandals, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tan and beige are close in depth; add a darker or lighter piece to separate them.
