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 which 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, for me, a timeless classic that is always handy to have in your wardrobe. Since it is quite a wintry colour, it's essential to know which jacket to pair it with, in order to stay warm and look stylish in any situation.

Today, I present to you several outfit ideas to help you find a jacket that suits you, regardless of your tastes and style.

Navy blue is a versatile shade that’s easy to wear and match, so you can pair it with almost anything when it comes to a dress in this colour. If your dress is on the shorter side or midi-length, sitting above the knee, you can wear it with a denim jacket, a blazer, a leather biker jacket, or even a chic long bohemian cardigan. If it’s a long dress and you’re on the taller side, you might consider a faux fur jacket or a lovely oversized cardigan. When it comes to colours, don’t hesitate to combine navy blue with natural leather brown, pastel shades (yellow, pink), black, or even white.

A denim jacket for a dynamic and casual outfit

Looking to add a vintage detail to your outfit? If you were born in the 80s or 90s, you'll likely remember this iconic piece of clothing that could be personalised and worn throughout the mid-season. A denim jacket is ideal to pair with a navy dress, especially if it's short and sits above the knees. It can be plain or patterned!

Furthermore, a denim jacket, although blue as well, will complement a navy dress perfectly. On the contrary, its different texture and lighter shade will help to define your silhouette and add depth to your outfit!

A Faux Fur Jacket for a Sophisticated Look

When wearing a dress in autumn or winter, it is quite common to worry about feeling cold. The part of our body that tends to get cold the most is usually our torso: therefore, this is the area that we must protect at all costs to stay warm and feel comfortable.

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

A long gilet for a feminine, chic bohemian and comfortable look

Are you looking for a jacket that's suitable for those days when it’s a bit chilly in the morning but warm in the afternoon? Or perhaps to wear under a coat? In that case, a long vest will be just right for you. Easy to put on and take off, it can be packed into a bag or carried over your arm if the temperatures rise.

For a bohemian chic look, I recommend choosing one that is a bit oversized, made from lovely quality knits. The appropriate length depends on the size of your dress:

• A mini dress (above or at knee length) can be worn with a slightly longer cardigan, provided that it is shorter than the dress, even by a few centimetres,
• For a maxi dress, I recommend either:
• A relatively short but oversized cardigan that stops just below the waist,
• An extra-long cardigan that extends below the knees.

➡ In all cases, avoid a mid-length cardigan, as it would 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, the black leather biker jacket might be just what you need. This garment will enhance your dress and silhouette, accentuating your waist. Additionally, its smooth texture and rock-chic cut will add a dynamic flair, making it perfect for an evening out, a job that requires movement, or a day in the city.

Whether it’s made from natural or synthetic leather, the perfecto jacket takes on a different vibe depending on the accessories and outfit you’re wearing with it:

• With sneakers, he'll have a more casual and laid-back look,
• With leather heeled shoes and a short dress, he'll give you the aura of a powerful 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? In that case, I recommend wearing a well-tailored blazer with a fitted navy blue dress.

For an outfit that conveys seriousness and reassures your clients and partners about your professionalism, you might opt for a navy blazer, in shades that complement your dress. Paired with subtle gold accessories and heeled shoes, this ensemble will exude class.

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

What Colours to Wear with Navy Blue?

Navy blue is a shade that is typically worn in colder weather or for an evening outfit. It complements both light and dark skin tones and does not highlight any redness.

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

This colour has the advantage of being very easy to coordinate, matching with anything and even able to be blended in gradients on an outfit. Furthermore, it enhances your silhouette and gives a slimming effect!

So, here’s a list of options available to you for matching navy blue:

• Try a romantic gradient by using several shades of blue,
• Wear a light-coloured jacket, white or cream to brighten your complexion,
• Choose a lovely contrast with pastel tones, featuring a pale pink or light yellow garment,
• Highlight navy blue with a chic detail in metallic colours,
• Maintain a sleek and elegant outfit by pairing it with black,
• Show off your uniqueness by daring to wear beautiful prints: animal and floral patterns, warm colours...

What accessories to enhance your navy blue dress and jacket?

To offset the somewhat conservative nature of the navy blue dress, especially if you opt for a plain jacket, I recommend focusing on accessories! These will personalise your outfit and add a sophisticated touch.

You could, for instance, pair your dress with a jacket:

• A leather belt to highlight your waist,
• Gold jewellery to brighten up your face,
• Pair of matching blue heels,
• A lovely leather bag,
• A pair of tights or stockings in cognac or coral…
