Seriously, gals. Navy is the new black. Your drab black pants? Keep ‘em in the closet for a while. Navy is where it’s at.
In terms of pairing, mix navy pants and dresses with other items in your wardrobe, even black. It makes pink, purple, red and yellow POP and looks fabulous with various patterns. Don’t be shy; your top doesn’t need to have navy in it and no, you don’t need to wear navy shoes… grey, silver, gold, brown, they’re all a gorgeous fit. No more matchy-matchy.For example, I recently paired my navy pants with this Tucker for Target blouse to rave reviews. On a related sidenote, I’m ordering you to purchase this blouse for just $20 (!) at Target right now. It’s available on line or check out the store’s 30 percent off racks. I don’t love the pants paired with it in this picture however pants, skinny jeans or tucked into a skirt (maybe orange for a bold look?) will make you instantly chic. A fan of Tucker’s clothes complimented me thinking this was the real thing. She was shocked — and then darted to Target — after realizing this was the designer-for-less look. The quality practically feels like the real thing.
Point being with this blouse is that it’s not an “instant” match to navy pants but the mauve totally works with navy. Look in your closet, and just start pulling items that could work.
And, if you’re looking for something a little more fun and flirty, check out this adorable American Eagle midnight navy and black-trim dress, a steal at just $39.50. Now, go get your navy on!
