For the past few seasons, Cobalt has been the go-to blue hue. However, the neutral navy has come into its own as the blue colour of the moment.

Even though navy has had a lot of use in the nautical world, you can now safely wear the colour without looking like you just stepped off of a yacht. Both designers and retailers are now utilizing this shade in everything from jackets, pants, tops and shoes. With its modern shapes and detailing, the new navy can be seamlessly taken from the office to a party, and you will look amazing with ease. The best feature about wearing navy is its versatility. You can keep the look demure by adding minimal accessories and colours or, you can spice up the look by pairing navy with exciting prints, or interesting pieces of statement jewelry.

One thing is for sure, this fall, step aside black, because navy is the new versatile neutral that will keep you looking picture perfect.
