What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with White Oxford Shirt

The best jacket colours to wear with a white oxford shirt 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 an oxford shirt, 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.
