Keys to combine navy blue

Navy blue is a specific, very dark nuance of blue that is often associated with elegance and classic looks. It’s called “navy” because it’s the colour of the deepest part of the ocean, and this similarity with black makes it really versatile and combinable with a lot of other colours. On top of that, this colour is perfect both for formal and casual occasions, from a very elegant dress, to a classic suit, or a jumper with denim. Navy blue adapts to every event, no matter the occasion.

For your most elegant situations, we suggest a total look in this colour; you’ll be super chic and sophisticated. Of course, it is the main colour of the “navy style” that takes its name: to embrace this style, combine it with white for a casual look. If you feel a little insecure on how to style navy blue, or still think that blue can’t be combined with black, this complete guide will help you insert this colour in your wardrobe: we’re sure that you’ll fall in love with it!

Colours that combine with navy blue

As we said, navy blue is a versatile nuance: you can combine it with neutral colours, like black, white, grey or beige, but also with bold colours. So, let’s see how we can combine it to be always on point with our outfits!

The chic alliance: navy blue and green

If you want to give your style a very trendy and unexpected look, you should try this combination

As we said, since navy blue is so similar to black, it can be used as a good base for a combination with a bolder colour, for example green. It immediately gives Gucci vibes, and it’s stylish without being boring. Taking inspiration from street style, we matched a green flowy skirt with a simple navy blue short-sleeved pullover: this look is perfect even for the office!

A well worked combination: navy blue and pink

This super chic combination will be the perfect ally for the most formal occasions, like job interviews or important business meetings. You can bet you’ll look amazing with a navy blue suit and a touch of pink. Choose the shade of pink based on your taste and what fits you better; for example, you can go pastel or choose a bolder tint, like trendy fuchsia. That’s up to you because all the shades will look perfect.

The classic option: navy and beige

Navy blue and beige together are the perfect combination for casual but classy looks. Think about Ralph Lauren, the brand symbol of English classic style: you’ll see this combo everywhere in their commercials!

We chose to match a beige cotton skirt, with a wrap detail that makes it look more casual and funny, with a blue cardigan, very feminine and chic. You can add a trendy touch with golden flats and this look will be amazing for nighttime too.

Which colorimetries does navy blue flatter?

Navy blue is, of course, a cold nuance that fits Winter the best when it’s a super dark tint, and Summer when it’s a dustier shade. That doesn’t mean that we can’t all wear this colour, there are different shades and little variations on the undertone that make it possible for Autumn and Spring women to wear it as well.

For Winter women, the right shade is a very dark, almost black one. Chic and super elegant, a total look in this tone will definitely look good on evening dresses or for more formal occasions.

For the Summer season, the shade is dustier, almost as if an opaque patina is put on top of the colour. This hue matches beautifully with light blue eyes, as in the case of Jennifer Aniston.

As we said, also warmer seasons can wear this shade: the important thing is to choose a tint that has a warmer undertone. In the case of Autumn, this colour has just a little touch of green in it, that makes it warmer and a perfect match with red hair.

Lastly, for Spring women, we take the Autumn shade and make it a little brighter. For these women, the perfect match would be with a peach, pink or coral: make sure to insert this colour in your navy blue outfit to light up the whole look!

How to combine a navy blue blouse

This month, as we transition from summer to autumn, a blouse is a must-have for both casual and classic looks. If you choose to go navy blue, you can easily match it with white denim that will make the look sporty but also feminine. As a final touch: a micro bag that matches the colour of the blouse.

How to combine navy blue trousers

Wearing navy blue trousers could be the right answer if the shade is not a perfect match for your skin, but you still want to wear this colour. You can easily match the trousers with a blouse or a shirt that is printed with colours that suit your season better. For example, navy blue looks great with a camel touch, so we chose to match a pair of paper bag trousers with a printed blouse, adding a classic but trendy touch with camel flats.
