A white doublet, apart from being untraditional, would forever be at the cleaners.
I'd opt for blue. But white highlights????
My blue velvet one has a lighter blue trim which works well.20230702_094459.jpg

Just to be clear, will it be a Prince Charlie or a Regulation Doublet? I'd go navy over white, probably without the white trim personally.

Regulation doublet. I guess that was a little confusing. But hey, I’m old. I’m allowed to be confused.

Maybe get 2 vests - one in navy to match the doublet, another in white/ivory - as an alternative way to introduce that element.

Generally I've seen black trim whether the doublet is black, dark blue, or dark green.
White trim and it's going to start looking like an army doublet.
Peter's blue-on-blue looks great too.

^ That! That is the total look I am going for. What style that jacket? Does it have a waistcoat? Since, I assume that it would stay buttoned, it wouldn't need one. And the high collar would preclude the need for a tie?

Of course white!  Just to me that combination screams Air Force. That being said, I’d love to see a pic of your whole jacket. That combination does look good!
