What colors look interesting with a midnight blue leather jacket?

Violettt

OK, I bought another faux leather jacket moto style which I adore, in a midnight/teal color. What do I wear with it so it doesn't look too drab or dark? Here is the one: https://www.express.com/exp/se.....night+blue

I also have this same jacket in blush pink which I also love, as it is perfect for the neutral palette I mostly wear, beiges, light grey, black, white, taupe, etc. This one is easy, it goes with all my clothes. I really like faux leather too as it is much lighter than real leather. I love it so much, I impulsively bought the blue one. Need Angie's help (as she is so great with color) or anybody else, on what color to wear under it that will look interesting. I've never been a blue person, but would like to incorporate it into my wardrobe. I'm thinking a navy and white stripey shirt is fab for starters. Or a pale blue t????
Thank you for any ideas~

I don't know if it's just the web photo, but it looks like more of a midtone blue than a deep navy to me. Either way, great pick!

I agree it can go with the neutrals you've already got, and your idea for stripes would be great too! Crisp white with this could really make it pop. White jeans with a pale blue top would be a fun wintry palette.

For a bolder combo, do you have any tops or scarves with mustard yellow in them?

Like @JuniperGreen, I am seeing a midtone blue on my browser. Very cute jacket.
And I agree with her that a bright yellow top w/white jeans *is* a brilliant idea, especially as winter drags on.
Really all of the colors suggested will look good--it looks like a very versatile piece.

Sarah: thank you~ Spring Green~ I do have a soft green cashmere of course ruffle cardigan from Bannana Republic, will try it~ Great idea~ this is the only green thing I've ever owned in my life~light grey? Yes, I have a lot of this~
JuniperGreen and LadyPainter: humm mustard yellow will look interesting~ Thank you for this idea~ I've never ever worn this color, but this would be a nice color combo, even in a scarf perhaps with a white T. I don't have white jeans but I do have some cute white wide legged coulottes! With a yellow top~ Perfect for winter~ Thx~ Will need to drag out my scarves too! I'd love to find a mustard yellow striped ribbed short sleeved sweater with maybe some blues and greens in it for winter. If anyone finds one, please show me~ Yes, the jacket is not dark navy, it is called "Windsor Blue", a luscious color actually. Blues do go nice with greens and yellows,..... Perhaps 2018 is the year to experiment with color more~thank you for the ideas~ appreciate it so much~

I have yet to find a color that midnight blue does not look fabulous against.

Treat it like navy blue. Pick some bright colors.

I wear this color of blue a lot, and my closet is loaded with black, olive, lighter denim/chambray and camel as my neutrals. It does great with all the ocean colors: aquas, teals, grey, sand, mossy greens. If I wore petal pink, I would definitely wear it with this jacket. Great find!

What a fab jacket, Violett. I love the style and the colour!
Also loving all the colour suggestions!
A few other ideas: purples (royal purple for a bright on bright effect, but also e.g. a darker cool-toned eggplant), fuchsia, violet, emerald and forest green, etc.

This colour looks also very nice with various orange colours.

What Inge said. I can't think of a color you could not put with this jacket, except maybe some navys. I like orange in all it's shades from bittersweet to light peach, greens as mentioned, stripes, blush, yellows, greys, etc.

It'd look great with a white or light coloured crew T-shirt/lightweight turtleneck underneath

Just checked your profile, which says you have strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. Based on that info, I suggest tops (i.e. turtlenecks) in yellow, toffee, peach, rust, chartreuse and olive.

I vote for light and medium shades of grey. I pair it with navy and turquoise and it really seems to make the blue color pop.

Irridescent and aqua greens, and ocean colors. Pale metallics - golds and silvers. Sand colors. Seashell pinks and light corals. This jacket is the basis of an entire mermaid palette (and I'm seriously eyeballing it).

Thank you so much everyone~ Your suggestions and input I appreciate just so very much~ La Belle: Yes, aqua greens and ocean colors, I am thinking as well as the mustard yellow too. I just found and ordered this top which I love! https://www.loft.com/lacy-spli.....;colorExpl Great find~ superb price, and a real find. Will wear it often here in this warm climate I live in.
Thank you so much again, I am so glad I found this wonderful site. It helps us fashionistas in more ways than one.
