Gals,

Can you wear navy and black together?? YES!!

Navy and black are kinda in the same color family – WINTER. If you have had your colors done, you know what I mean :).

There was a time when people pooh-poohed the navy/black combination, that’s for sure. Today, the concept is MORE than accepted….see why!

1) Both are neutrals – why would you not pair your neutrals together?

2) The navy softens the look of all black just a bit.

3) Generally speaking, most people have these two colors in their wardrobe. If they make up a good part of the closet, then of course you are going to pair them together.

4) Putting these two colors together is actually really CHIC because it’s a bit of a fashion statement and a unexpected pairing….to some

5) “Tonal” dressing makes packing for a trip very easy.

So…….

If you are wearing a navy dress (like THIS ONE or THIS ONE this I put on a client yesterday – fantastic) you can go for your NUDE HEEL, for sure. BUT, another great neutral to wear with that navy dress is a BLACK PATENT LEATHER PUMP (my FAVS) . You can also wear a BLACK PANTENT SANDAL – these too HERE and HERE.

Think about dark, ink blue denim. It’s basically navy! So, if you’ve ever put on a black sweater with your navy jeans….then you’re wearing navy and black – ha!

I also love the look of a black blazer, black bootie, black top paired with my dark denim.

Let’s say you are wearing black pants or a black skirt…..pairing a navy sweater will keep you from looking like you are going to a funeral. I’m not at ALL against a monochromatic black look OR navy look! I just like the idea of mixing them to break up the monochromatic once in a while,

So, I did my best to find the same things I’m wearing in my video, but some of those things I’ve had forever! The hardest thing to find right now is a puff sleeve cashmere sweater in ANY color.

So, take a look at what I found and see what might work for you. By the way, try the navy and black combo if you haven’t already

LMK what you think!

Here is the Navy and Blue LONGCHAMP BAG – the BEST.
