What colour cardigan/jacket with navy dress?

I’m hopeless at this type of thing.

I have several navy/navy based work dresses, but haven’t worn them all winter because I don’t have anything to wear over them.

The office is pretty relalxed, so a cardigan would be fine.

What colours go well with navy?

Reds / orange / mustard all work well.

Fuschia pink, mustard, coral, bright grass green.

Grey, cream, camel. I always try and stay neutral with a navy. Camel works particularly nicely!

Well- what's your colouring?
Loads go with navy though- red, teal, turquoise, emerald, mustard, cream,

Turquoise, teal.

It would be quicker to list what doesn't work with navy.

Grin so pretty much anything, then!

Thank you for all the suggestions - there are some there that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of and will have a look at.

I’m ghostly pale with light brown (dark blonde at a push) hair, if that helps narrow it down at all. I think pastel colours make me look washed out.

Have you considered orange or white? Either would work with navy and could suit your colours. X

I wear a lot of navy and my colouring sounds similar to yours. I always wear bright colours with it, usually either turquoise, coral pink or bright green.

I agree that camel looks really nice with navy.

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions - much appreciated.

Lilac/purple looks good with navy and is very on-trend at the moment.

Agree with red or camel (think I have similar colouring) but also navy could look chic
