How to wear navy - Autumns? ›

Pairing with Warm Accents

Muted reds and burgundy, gentle oranges and yellows, and shades of amber or gold are perfect for a True Autumn. In addition, True Autumns can go for light or warm greens (remember - nothing bright!) and even muted harbor blues. But what is best for a True Autumn is a golden brown or dark brown.

True Autumn skin has obvious warm undertones – meaning gold looks great against it, but silver makes it look off. Skin tones range from fair to dark. Freckles are also possible. What's most distinctive about the skin's colouring is the bronzy or golden glow it emanates when paired with rich, warm colours.

If you're a dark Autumn looking for style inspiration and advice, look no further! You may find yourself wondering if grey is part of your seasonal color palette. The answer is yes – with the right tones and shades, dark Autumns can easily incorporate grey into their wardrobe and look great doing so.

Of all four palettes, Winter's navy is the 'real' navy. While Autumns can wear this navy if they need to, and Summers can get away with it as long as the coloured paired with it are chosen carefully, Winter is really where it belongs. Rich, strong and dark, it is easily mistaken for black, never grey, in low lighting.

Autumns should look for navies with a slightly warmer undertone, avoiding those that are too crisp or stark. A navy that leans towards teal or has a touch of green can complement Autumn's warmth.

Deep Blue Green - cool, light and soft. Bright Silver - too bright and too cool (Warm/True Autumn should wear gold instead of silver.) Icy Grey & Icy Blue - cool and bright (Warm/True Autumn is warm, golden and bronzy. There is nothing “icy” about it.)

Colours to Avoid

Since Dark Autumn's main colour aspects are depth and warmth, your worst colours are light and cool. White, pastel and other toned-down colours, such as dusty blues and pinks, will make your naturally rich colouring look off and washed out.

Although black is considered a classic color, it isn't part of the True Autumn palette. There's no need to worry if you love Black, it's not that it looks 'bad' on you, it's that True Autumn colours look best.

If you're an Autumn, there's about a 99% chance that you look amazing in teal.

A common design "no-no" is mixing navy and black, but this rule was meant to be broken. A black-and-white pattern can work as a neutral contrast to navy.
