What Jacket to Wear with a Navy Blue Dress? Plenty of Ideas to Explore!

You have a lovely navy blue dress and you’re wondering what jacket to wear with it? Would you like to know the colors and types of jackets that enhance a navy dress?

You’ve come to the right place.

As a fashion enthusiast, the navy blue dress is a staple that I believe everyone should have in their wardrobe. Since it’s a rather wintery color, it’s essential to know what jacket to pair it with in order to stay warm and look stylish in any situation.

Today, I’m sharing several outfit ideas to help you find a jacket that suits your taste and style, no matter what it is.

Navy blue is a versatile and easy-to-match color, allowing you to style just about anything with a dress in this hue. If your dress is short or mid-length, above the knee, you can wear it with a denim jacket, a blazer, a leather moto jacket, or a long bohemian-style cardigan. If you have a long dress and are on the taller side, consider pairing it with a faux fur jacket or a nice oversized cardigan. When it comes to color combinations, feel free to mix navy blue with natural leather brown, pastel shades (like yellow or pink), black, or white.

A Denim Jacket for a Stylish and Casual Look

Want to add a vintage touch to your outfit? If you were born in the ’80s or ’90s, you probably remember this iconic piece of clothing that you could customize and wear throughout the transitional seasons. A denim jacket is perfect for pairing with a navy dress, especially if it’s short and sits above the knees. It can be solid or patterned!

Additionally, a denim jacket, although also blue, will complement a navy blue dress perfectly. On the contrary, its different texture and lighter shade will help to shape your silhouette and add dimension to your outfit!

A Faux Fur Jacket for a Sophisticated Look

When wearing a dress in the fall or winter, it’s common to worry about getting cold. The most sensitive part of our bodies is often our torso, so it’s essential to protect it at all costs to stay warm and feel comfortable.

With a faux fur jacket, you can be sure of having a garment that is both stylish and comfortable, which will truly keep you warm. Similar to a denim jacket, the fur will also create a contrast of textures that will elevate your outfit!

A Long Vest for a Comfortable and Chic Bohemian Look

Are you looking for a jacket that’s suitable for those chilly mornings that turn warm in the afternoon? Or perhaps one to wear under a coat? If so, a long vest will be perfect for you. Easy to put on and take off, it can be tucked into a bag or carried on your arm if the temperatures rise.

For a boho-chic look, I recommend choosing it a bit oversized, with nice, high-quality knits. The appropriate length varies depending on the size of your dress:

• A mini dress (above or at knee length) can be paired with a slightly longer cardigan, as long as the cardigan is shorter than the dress, even by a few inches.
• For a maxi dress, I recommend one of the following:
• A fairly short but oversized cardigan that stops below the waist.
• An extra-long cardigan that falls below the knees.

➡ In any case, avoid a mid-length cardigan, as it will throw off your silhouette and make your legs look shorter.

Dare to Rock the Trend with a Leather Biker Jacket

If you’re looking for a jacket that is both stylish and practical to pair with your navy blue dress, a black leather jacket might be just what you need. This garment will enhance your dress and silhouette, accentuating your waist. Additionally, its smooth texture and edgy cut will give you a dynamic look, perfect for an evening out, a job where you need to be active, or a day in the city.

Whether it’s made of natural leather or synthetic material, a perfecto jacket shifts its style depending on the accessories and outfit you pair it with:

• With sneakers, he’ll have a casual and relaxed vibe,
• With heeled leather shoes and a short dress, he’ll give you the aura of a strong and sexy woman!

A Blazer for a Chic Outfit with a Fitted Dress

Do you want to wear your little black dress to work while maintaining a professional outfit that also showcases your sense of style? If so, I recommend pairing it with a well-tailored blazer and a fitted navy blue dress.

For an outfit that conveys your seriousness and reassures your clients and partners about your professionalism, you can choose a navy blue blazer that matches your dress. With subtle gold accessories and high-heeled shoes, the ensemble will exude elegance and class.

👉 Are you looking for an outfit for a wedding or a baptism? You can also wear this type of jacket for these occasions. A blazer and a pocket square would be perfect to complement a midi dress, especially one with lace details, for example.

What Colors Go Well with Navy Blue?

Navy blue is a shade that’s often worn during colder weather or for evening outfits. It compliments both light and dark skin tones and does not highlight redness.

Additionally, blue is a cool color that symbolizes calmness and serenity. By wearing navy blue, you convey the image of a serious, composed, and trustworthy individual.

This color has the advantage of being very easy to match; it goes with everything and can even be used in gradient styles on an outfit. Plus, it enhances your silhouette and makes you look slimmer!

So, here’s a list of options for pairing with navy blue:

• Try a romantic gradient by incorporating various shades of blue,
• Wear a light-colored jacket, either white or cream, to brighten your complexion,
• Choose a lovely contrast with pastel tones, like a soft pink or light yellow garment,
• Highlight navy blue with a chic detail using metallic colors,
• Keep your outfit sleek and smart by pairing it with black,
• Show off your uniqueness by daring to wear beautiful prints: animal and floral patterns, warm colors…

What Accessories Will Enhance Your Navy Blue Dress and Jacket?

To balance out the somewhat conservative feel of the navy dress, especially if you opt for a solid-colored jacket, I recommend focusing on accessories! These will add a personal touch to your outfit and give it a sophisticated flair.

You can, for example, complement your dress and jacket:

• A leather belt to accentuate your waist,
• Gold jewelry to brighten your face,
• Some matching blue heels,
• A pretty leather bag,
• A pair of cognac or coral tights or stockings…
