Benefits Of Layering Navy

Wearing and collecting all navy as a base colour creates a very sophisticated silhouette which is so easy to layer under more casual items like café coats, cardigans, and denim jackets.

And the best part?

You can also layer navy with navy.

Different tones, different textures, different fabrications, it all works, as long as each piece is touching the next.

That way, it doesn’t look like you got dressed in the dark… it looks intentional, layered, and incredibly stylish.

Here’s the simple rule:

You can separate navy with another coloured item in between if the navy pieces are the exact same colour and fabric.

When that’s the case, it reads as a suit, and it just works. 

We’ve seen this done our whole lives, on all age groups, across every trend, and in every smart setting.

That’s why it feels ageless, polished, and totally right (left-hand picture below).

All forms of navy can be worn together in different fabrics when touching completely as a silhouette and then layered, that’s the magic of navy’s versatility (right-hand picture above).

This can be done with all blacks and all dark taupes too.

But when you’re working with the exact same fabric, the navy has to be the exact same shade or it looks like you accidentally grabbed the wrong jacket from the wrong suit that morning...(had a late night perhaps?) 

Once you see it, you really can’t unsee it!

So, go on, jump on the navy love boat.

Especially if you’re a Vibrant colour type, navy is your one and only very best dark neutral.
