Navy Is the Color Trend Set to Take Over—Here Are the Best Pieces to Shop

Black is the backbone of my wardrobe. As someone who has long been influenced by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s ‘90s minimalist NYC style, the classic naturals of Chanel, and the timelessness of a LBD, black is the core shade in my closet that I wear more than anything else. It’s a color, or rather a non-color, that has the versatility to work with everything and always manages to look polished and elevated.

Lately, however, I’ve been gravitating more towards navy. With the rising influence of preppy style from brands such as Ralph Lauren and Celine, my moodboards are increasingly edging out black with navy. Pieces such as double-breasted jackets with gold buttons, kick flare pants, suede handbags, and sneakers are all landing on my shopping list in shades of navy. As style shifts away from the stark minimalism of past years, I’m predicting that we’ll see navy emerge as the luxe neutral to own. Ahead, my list of the best navy shopping items on the market now.
