What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with White Chinos

The best jacket colours to wear with white chinos are navy, black and camel. Navy and white is the crispest pairing there is: maximum contrast, zero risk. Olive, brown, charcoal and grey also work. Be careful with cream: a puffer jacket is more casual than chinos, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: white and cream are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
