“Don’t wear white after Labour Day”, “Never mix your prints”, “Blue and green should never be seen without a colour inbetween”.

Mistake #1: Black + Navy = Yes!

Perhaps one of the oldest fashion myths in the book is the simple “don’t ever wear black and navy together”.

Read on for a few super easy tips to keeping your midnight-hue outfit from being a fashion faux pas.

Tip # 1: To help differentiate between the two hues, try to work a different texture into the mix. Tuck your navy silk camisole into your favourite pair of black jeans or pants. Match your black leather skirt with a navy cotton tee. Throw on a navy wool coat over your favourite LBD. The result it sure to be texture and colour perfection.
