Colour combination help

I'm stressing myself out with working out what colours "go" with other colours. This is why I either wear Jumpsuits when going out or stick to leggings and black or grey jumpers for causal 😂

I've got stunning navy wide leg trousers, and a pair or navy casual linen trousers. I wear black/navy and white breton tops with them usually but looking for ideas for dressing the wide leg trousers up or down.

Is black and navy a definite no no? I've worn navy top with black jeans before. I don't know if I'm stressing as I'm normally black trousers and not navy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks if you've read this far as I'm having a proper anxiety moment here 😂

Black and navy is good!

Black and navy is fine. I wear bright pink/fuchsia with navy. Red and orange also works well as well as emerald green.

Navy is almost a neutral so most things will go. Like jeans, it doesn't really matter.

Go with colours that flatter you.

Ooh I've got casual emerald green tops that'll be good for every day.

Red for going out I think and didn't think of pink.

I would wear almost anything except black with navy! But people do.

I think.navy and black looks like a bruise. If wear any jewel colour with navy.

Cyclingforcake · 02/05/2024 09:06

Yellow and pale grey also look nice with navy

BlastedPimples · 02/05/2024 09:07

I don't like black and navy at all. But your other combinations sounds fine.

Thighdentitycrisis · 02/05/2024 11:13

I like a cream / off white with navy

TonightMatthewIamgoingtobecher · 15/05/2024 22:11

Ooh I was reminded of this today. I've started wearing royal blue with navy and really like the combo.

Jewel colours, white or cream/camel/taupe colours.

Black and navy is too drab as the colours are too similar but yet stand out against each other.

Navy is a neutral so most colours will work, try to find a colour that suits your own colouring.
