Navy and black has been a personal favorite styling combo for years, and this fall, it’s having a moment. PEOPLE recently asked me how to make it work.
This classic pairing is an easy way to elevate what’s already in your closet: approachable, a little unexpected, and luxe without trying hard.
Here are a few ways to wear the two together, including what I share with clients most often. These work for men and women alike:
Wear navy on top for a warmer shade, especially if black feels too dark for you.
Check your colors. There’s a sweet spot for both shades.
Add some texture to give the look dimension.
Skip the 50-50 split and let one color lead.
