Want to start a fashion rumble by bringing up a controversial topic? No, I’m not talking about exploitative labor or the contamination of waterways by toxic byproducts from nearby apparel factories. I’m talking the controversial combo of navy and black. No longer an “only in New York” color combination, other geographical areas are embracing the high-fashion look. The navy/black team still has a way to go though.
Email I received from a client recently.
Subject: I just ordered a navy car seat…
Body Text: to go on a black stroller. The sales lady (who was very sweet) politely said that was unusual and typically people try to separate out the black and navy — I wanted to refer her to you…
We’ve put together some stylish navy and black combos for your review this week, just in case you still need convincing. What do you think?!
Happy Shopping!
