Make Navy Your Go-To Neutral This Spring - Here’s Why
Navy is often overshadowed by black, but it’s the ultimate alternative when you’re looking for a versatile neutral. While black can feel a little too heavy or stark for the warmer months, navy provides a refined, timeless look with a bit more warmth and softness. It still delivers that sleek, polished vibe but without the intensity. It pairs effortlessly with everything from pastels to bold colours to crisp whites. There’s no formula to pairing colours—if it goes, it goes, and you’ll know! The richness of navy adds an element of luxury to any outfit, which is why it’s often seen in high-end collections, as well as everyday wardrobes.
It’s also universally flattering, adding a subtle richness that enhances all skin tones. It really is one of those colours that works for everyone!
While trends come and go, navy has remained a classic for decades, always finding its way back into seasonal collections and year-round wardrobes. It doesn’t just feel current—it’s a timeless colour that works for both casual and formal occasions, making it a wise investment piece that will last. Timeless, reliable, and always looking expensive, navy is the neutral your wardrobe needs if it’s not already there!
One of the best ways to bring navy into your wardrobe is through tailoring. Black tailoring can be too heavy for spring, so opting for navy gives a lighter, fresher feel. The Groes Kate Blazer is our top pick, but if you’re after something more affordable, Zara’s pinstripe blazer below is a great alternative!
A light wash jean and a navy blazer make the perfect spring staple outfit to have on hand. Wear with flats in the day and heels in the evening - winning both ways!
This satin set from COS is such a staple. Whether you wear it as a set or style the pieces separately, it’s perfect for the season ahead.
The high street is full of great navy casual pieces at the moment, and we’ve put together our top picks so you can shop them all in one spot!
