Is Navy The New Black?

Whilst navy symbolises both depth and sophistication it also offers a unique timeless chic that is unmatched to any other hue. It is highly versatile making it the perfect choice for any event. It is a sleek and classic colour that will be forever timeless and flattering for all. We believe that this navy is the new black as it offers an elegant alternative to black; and it will keep you cooler for longer. Whether you are the mother of the bride or groom, off to a special party or out for drinks with the girls, navy will suit the event flawlessly.

Navy is not only versatile for different occasions, it also comes in many different textures such as embroidery, lace, beads and metallics. There is a navy dress for every woman no matter the occasion. Navy offers a youthfulness like no other. Much to contrary belief, black tie events don’t always have to call for a black ball gown. Navy is a fun take on the black tie dress code. It is the perfect hue for the people wanting to wear a subtly chic pop of colour.

 

Black VS Deep Blue

In comparison to black, deep blue colour palette are enchanting and offer a dimensional aspect to eveningwear looks. Similar to Van Gogh's, Starry Night; navy hues have a whimsical feel that glows against the night lights. Adding a touch of shine can enhance a navy formal look - sequins, beads and metallic fabrics ensure a glamourous final look. Full length navy gowns are ideal for wedding guests, mothers of the brides and party-goers. Statement accessories can add a bold yet elegant final touch to the look.

 

Navy Unveiled

Depending on the wedding dress code, as a wedding guest black is at times not an appropriate colour choice for your dress. Navy offers a brighter alternative to black, whilst still having the beneficial properties of black. Like black, navy is a slimming colour, appearing sophisticated and chic, navy also looks great on many different complexions. You can easily layer navy with jewel tone colours, such as emerald, purple and lighter blue hues for a dynamic contrast. Pick an accessory that adds dimension such as a metallic earring or jewelled pumps. 

 

New Classic Colour

Although black is a timeless staple colour, navy is a hidden gem that radiates in the light. Although it is slightly controversial to mix both black and navy when styling yourself, we believe that if done correctly layering navy with black accentuates the blue hues in the navy creating an effortlessly chic look. Navy is a classic colour for both bridal parties as well as mother of the bride and groom, it is a colour that won't go out of style.
