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

You have a lovely navy blue dress and you're wondering what jacket to wear with it? Would you like to know the colours 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 classic piece that is always useful to have in your wardrobe. Since it is a more wintery shade, it's essential to know which 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 you, no matter your tastes or style.

Navy blue is an easy-to-wear shade that pairs well with almost anything, so you can’t go wrong with a dress in this colour. If your dress is on the shorter side or knee-length, you can style it with a denim jacket, a blazer, a leather biker jacket, or a chic bohemian long vest. For those wearing a long dress, especially if you're tall, consider adding a faux fur jacket or a lovely oversized cardigan. When it comes to colours, feel free to combine navy blue with natural brown leather, pastel shades (like yellow and pink), black, or white.

A Denim Jacket for a Dynamic and Casual Outfit

Want to add a vintage touch to your outfit? If you were born in the 80s and 90s, you surely remember this iconic piece of clothing that could be customized and worn throughout the mid-season. A denim jacket is perfect to pair with a navy blue dress, especially if it's short and falls above the knees. It can be solid or patterned!

Additionally, a denim jacket, although also blue, will pair perfectly with a navy blue dress. On the contrary, its different texture and lighter shade will help to accentuate your silhouette and add depth 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 area of our body is often our torso, so it's essential to protect it at all costs to stay warm and comfortable.

With a faux fur jacket, you’re guaranteed to have a garment that is both stylish and comfortable, keeping you truly warm. Like a denim jacket, the fur adds a nice textural contrast that enhances your outfit!

A long vest for a chic bohemian feminine look that's comfortable

Are you looking for a jacket that's ideal for those chilly mornings and warmer afternoons? Or perhaps for wearing under a coat? If so, a long vest will be perfect for you. Easy to put on and take off, it can be folded up and stored in a bag or carried on your arm as the temperatures warm up.

For a bohemian chic look, I recommend choosing it slightly oversized, with beautiful 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 it's shorter than the dress, even by a few centimetres.
• For a long 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 unbalance your silhouette and make your legs appear shorter.

Dare to Embrace the Rock’n Roll 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 exactly what you need. This garment will highlight your dress and figure, accentuating your waist. Additionally, its smooth texture and rock-inspired cut will give you a dynamic vibe, which can be perfect for an evening out, a job where you need to stay active, or simply a day in the city.

Whether it's genuine leather or synthetic, the perfecto jacket can transform its style depending on the accessories and outfit you pair it with:

• With sneakers, he'll have a laid-back and casual vibe,
• With heeled leather shoes and a short dress, he’ll project the image of a confident and sexy woman!

A Blazer for a Chic Outfit with a Fitted Dress

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

For an outfit that conveys seriousness and reassures your clients and partners about your professionalism, consider opting for a navy blazer that matches the tones of your dress. Pair it with subtle gold accessories and heeled shoes, and you'll exude a lot of class.

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

What Colours to Wear with Navy Blue?

Navy blue is a colour that's often worn when it's cold or for evening attire. It complements both light and dark skin tones and doesn’t highlight redness.

Additionally, blue is a cool colour associated with calmness and serenity. By wearing navy blue, you project the image of a serious, composed, and trustworthy person.

This colour offers the advantage of being very easy to match, goes well with everything, and can even be transformed into a gradient on an outfit. Additionally, it helps to create a more streamlined silhouette and makes you look slimmer!

Here’s a list of options for pairing with navy blue:

• Create a romantic gradient using multiple shades of blue,
• Wear a light-coloured jacket, white or cream, to brighten your complexion,
• Choose a lovely contrast in pastel tones, with a pale pink or light yellow garment,
• Highlight navy blue with a chic detail in metallic colours,
• Keep an outfit sleek and polished by pairing it with black,
• Showcase your originality by embracing beautiful prints: animal and plant patterns, warm colours...

What Accessories to Enhance Your Navy Blue Dress and Jacket?

To balance the slightly formal look of the navy dress, especially if you go for a solid jacket, I recommend focusing on accessories! They will customize your outfit and add a sophisticated touch.

You can, for example, pair your dress with your jacket:

• A leather belt to accentuate your waist,
• A pair of gold jewellery to brighten up your face,
• Some matching blue pumps,
• A pretty leather bag,
• A pair of cognac or coral tights or stockings…
