Navy blue

[TwllBach]

I misguidedly bought a navy blue skater skirt but have no idea what to wear with it.

I thought I might use the sales as an opportunity to educate myself...what do I wear with navy blue?? Including shoes please...

Do you mean colours? I like mustard, burgundy, emerald green, tan or grey with navy

[TwllBach]

I did mean colours, yes, sorry. I've seen some lovely colours in terms of tops but I don't really know what to do about legs and shoes? I alwyas throw on black tights and black shoes, but I know I'm not uspposed to wear black and navy!

Black and navy are very chic together. It's a favourite combination of fashion editors.

Really?
My mother always told me it was a no no...

[bloomingheather]

I think dark grey tights look nice with navy and I think brown or tan shoes go well. I agree with chartreuse though that black and navy is very chic as a combination.

I wear black and navy together most of the time. Navy is very versatile, almost anything works with it. Enjoy your dress :)

I was always told that black and navy was a no-no but have started wearing it together recently and am pleasantly surprised.

[Financeprincess]

Black and navy do look chic together but it doesn't mean that anything black combined with anything navy will look good. I think that black tights and a navy skirt look a bit mismatched.

[umiaisha]

Quite. Think it only works with more of a quirky/edgy combination.

Red?
When I wear my navy blue jeans, I either wear blue or red on top

Navy and black is ok but if it's cheap fabric will look crsp. Leopard

I always wear brown tights and knee length boots with navy. To me, navy and brown are the perfect combo.

[HazleNutt]

navy looks great with coral. And that you shouldn't wear black must be a British thing, I'm foreign and never heard that.

I love brown or burgundy boots with a navy skirt

[Matsikula]

Navy and grey, navy and black are staples of my work wardrobe. Black tights look fine if they have a bit of texture to them like ribbing or fishnet - then it is more of a deliberate look rather than mismatched, but if you have beautifully cut clothes in beautiful fabrics then a very plain minimal look would be good too.

I love navy, I am a bit worried that it is becoming a fashion thing!

Navy and camel
Navy and lime
Navy and red
Navy and teal/turquoise
Navy and lavender
Navy and grey

Navy goes with everything, pretty much! (and forms about 70% of my wardrobe!)

[TwllBach]

I also love navy... it is much softer on my skin than black and I have navy dresses that I will quite happily wear with black tights and boots, it's just that it is a skirt that it has thrown me! Come to think of it, I even have navy tops that I wear with grey jeans.

I think I can cope with the top half, it is just the tights and shoes that I am struggling with. I do, though, have brown tights and brown boots, so I can stick with that if I am desperate.

I also have grey cable knit tights that might work? And a cream top?

I love navy with cream, grey, red, oxblood or pink.
