I’m asked all the time about my thoughts on wearing black with navy and I have to be honest – I didn’t even know this was technically considered a faux pas until a few years ago! I have always loved this color combination….Maybe because navy and black are two of the colors I wear the most often separately, or maybe its because they’re both clean + classic colorways, but for whatever reason I have loved them together for as long as I can remember. Above are some of my favorite inspiration pics from around the internet. They inspire me, and also go to prove that I’m not the only one breaking this ‘rule.’ I also incorporated a few images from my own blog and life where I’ve worn this color combination.
You can easily mix separate black and blue pieces as I’ve done above, or you can buy items with black and blue already paired together. I’ve linked a few favorites below! I hope this post has helped debunk this ‘rule’ and that really, you should wear whatever you want! I think the best part of fashion is that there are no rules. Playing and having fun with mixing patterns, colors, fabrics and textures is what it’s all about. As long as you like it – that’s all that matters!
