The two colours
What blue and navy each bring
blue
A saturated, royal or cobalt blue. Bold and confident, it's a strong accent that reads cool and energetic.
Works best as: A single accent piece: a knit, a shirt, a dress.
navy
The most versatile colour in a wardrobe: dark enough to be formal, soft enough to be casual, and it pairs with almost everything. It behaves like a neutral but has more life than black.
Works best as: Anything: suits, chinos, knits, coats, dresses.
