Would you wear navy and black together?

[FindingMeno]

Would you wear black trousers and a navy top?
Or black bottoms and a chocolate brown top?
I have fixed ideas, and I wonder if I'm too rigid.

I would if I could pull it together with accessories.

No (unless all my other clothes are dirty!)

No.

Navy and black can be luxurious, done right. Black and dark brown sounds dowdy to me.

Black and navy can be chic. Black and brown no. Camel and black fine.

I also have very fixed ideas!

I'm not massively keen on navy anyway, but it seems a bit pointless to me.

Wouldn't it look as if you'd got dressed in the half-light and forgotten what they actually were?

No

The different takes on this are so interesting. I was reading a book that put navy and chocolate brown into neutrals, then claimed any neutrals can be worn together.
I don't know what to believe any more!

Yes definitely, but the navy would have to be at the blue end of the spectrum, not a dark navy.

Brown and black no, but only because brown looks dowdy on me unless I pair it with warm colours.

I always wear black and navy. I also wear black and brown. I have no rules.

I was thinking perhaps along those lines @user143677433 with the navy and black, so there's more contrast.

Yes I would both very cool combos imo..

I think it can look great! But I somehow end up making it look like I didn't do it deliberately...like maybe I got dressed in the dark and mistook my navy trousers for black or something.

I don't wear black anymore, but still wear a lot of navy, which I wear with grey, teal or mustard usually.

My favourite jacket is a black and dark blue silk damask. It goes with so much and stops plain work clothes being too boring.

Black and navy is very chic. I think it’s one of the few colours that goes well with black, others can look a bit ‘liquorice allsort’. Brighter colours in particular can look a little 80s and also flatten the colour.

No I wouldn't personally - I have seen black/navy worn together and it look amazing but you have to get the right navy and accessories and pull it off - too much work!

Black and navy absolutely. Not brown, but that's because I don't wear it, so not on my radar as such.

No because my mum always said not to! One of those things that has stuck with me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes.
I once had a navy dress with black embroidery that was one of the nicest pieces of clothing I ever had.
I agree that the navy should be more towards French navy than really dark.

@EmmaStone that picture is very helpful to look at.
I really like the navy skirt and black top put together on the right.

Yep! Both combinations can look amazing. It depends on the shade and the fabric.

Yes. Wearing it right now in fact.

Yes. Without any hesitation.

If you use luxe fabrics (leather, cashmere, mohair, silk, beading) then I think navy and black can look especially chic.

Black and navy absolutely but you need to do it so it looks deliberate. Then it looks fabulous.
