Make it dark, choose hopsack (or flannel in fall/winter), and if you’re feeling particularly classic, get it in a 3-roll-2 closure. It literally goes with everything, from khakis and grey trousers (security guarding, anyone?) to even jeans. In its essence, it's simply one piece of a navy suit, which will similarly get you through nearly anything and can calm down even the most vibrant of shirt or tie patterns. Put This On sums this up quite nicely. A navy jacket is truly the most versatile jacket you can own, which you can count on just like a dark wash pair of jeans or even a blue chore coat. This is probably why the overall design is inoffensive when worn today, at least compared to its original naval (and later, prep) roots. The wider world of menswear has done a great job making the navy jacket subtle, like replacing the brass buttons with dark horns and making it the go-to top layer for almost all classic clothing.
