The Sartorialist
Jak & Jil
Two great colors. A necessity for many Catholic School Girls who, like myself, resorted to black tights on cold days in rolled up plaid skirts. But for years and years and actually as far back as I can remember, wearing black and navy blue together was a huge a "no-no" ...and now? Suddenly it seems so fresh and new! Go figure?
We may as well just continue to wear white after Labor Day and all the way through to Spring! Pshht. Horrors. ...;)
So luvers, what do you think? Black and Navy together forever? ...or a total fashion disaster?

Together forever, and never to part...together forever black and navy...
Oh my god you are going to hate me with all my songs!
I love them together when worn with some style, like they meant to, not like they just picked up whatever was on the floor.
Hi, Lakers...
Love the pictures you selected, and speaking as a Catholic school girl myself- I agree that it can be done and look absolutely lovely together.
Now, it can certainly be a mess, too- when you can't tell if something is navy or black and it just looks off- but for the most part I think they make a sophisticated and elegant duo..
Navy nails with a black cocktail dress? Pretty pretty ;)
i'm not a fan, for the simple fact that my father (yes father of all people) said to me like..4 years ago..."you look like a bruise- black and blue."
so now i don't haha.
So fresh so new so luv
I'm especially fond of the last picture!
I'm a big fan of black and navy, especially when you can incorporate some color (white, cream, light green - you make it work)...
And I LOVE the sartorialist!
Undecided myself. In the right situation it could work but ... I'm not sold. Not yet.
Awesome together!
navy and black attack!
no problem with that! as long as done well.
YES YES love it!! I always have done it anyway. :)
I am not a fan of the black & navy together, although those pictures don't look bad! I think it's all in how you present it.
Yes. Together forever (and ever).
Oooh I am all for combining colors in unorthodox or "no-no" combinations! Pink and red, brown and gray, and of course, navy and black! You picked some lovely examples of this done expertly!
A certain tune pops into my head... "me and you, and you and me, no matter how they roll the dice, we're meant to be..." :D I dig, yo.

I think black and navy are new bffs!
I like it! Navy is a great color, black might be overrated haha.
Xoxo,

together forever! I love the last picture. So cute.
i like the color combination. it's kind of classic, don't you think?
ps. about the gossip girl episode this week.. i completely agree with you. prom is supposed to be a big deal and yet they only showed us snippets of it. and i think i read somewhere that blair's prom dress is marchesa.
I think they're great together!
P.S. Thanks so much for the html tip. I had no idea my sidebar was all jacked when viewed with firefox. It looked fine with IE which is what I use and I never thought to check, so thanks, problem solved!
I do navy and black a lot. i think it works great!
love these pics..love the first look!

I just found your blog via Delight by design, it is so beautiful!
I'm going to add you to my blog list.
Have a wonderful weekend!
an absolute must color combination. i've always loved them together!
lovely mix of colours! i need a navy tee!
Love it together DONE RIGHT. :)
It's so funny I was just thinking about this literally a couple of minutes before I saw this post!
My hubby plays football and their off field uniform is a navy blue top with black trousers (it's dresscode regulations). I was thinking about how he looks really smart like that and as I am a member of the football club and wear the shirt also I was wondering whether I would get away with wearing black skinny jeans (instead of my usual dark blue) with my shirt!
After seeing this post I think I will!

Hey, don't look now, but isn't the girl in the last photo wearing light brown shoes with her black & navy?
I've been in love with navy lately too!
J'adore lookbook!
X♥X♥
I'm kind of against it, although I wear white all year long (almost) and don't really follow 'rules'. I just don't like it. I think it looks like your closet lighting is bad and didn't see what you were putting together?
Thank god we're not longer so rule governed about fashion.
Hey Maegan, I think you could pull it off for sure--- = ) Have a fab weekend darling.
I think if the outfit works, ROCK IT!
I used to hate the black/navy or black/brown combination until I studied in Italy for a semester in college. Now I think it totally works. And I've been loving navy lately.
Ohhh i wear these two colors all the time.
Head on over to my blog where a lovely surprise awaits you.
I'm a huuuuge fan of black and navy! And brown and black!!! I remember being told years ago that it was fashion no-no...i adore the combos and didn't listen.
Oh gosh. I always manage to wear navy tights with black shoes, thinking that the tights are black. I never realize it until I'm out of the house. It's embarrassing!
Craaaazy color combos make my world go round...I love Navy & black...I think I have always worn it, I love the look- it's so crisp & clean. Another "forbidden" combo I love is brown & black...it's total perfection!
its ok if worn in style. i still find myself having issues with wearing blue shirts with blue jeans though. what are your thoughts on that?
Two of my fave fashion colors...together at last! Or together for now! LOL
Uhmm.. to this day it still makes me cringe my teeth when I see black and navy together.. but I might grow to love it at some point :) Maybe I'm too traditional. hehe.
I never really realized it was supposed to be bad together. Whenever it's cold, I cocoon myself in dark colors to soak up as much heat as possible. Black and navy are my two faves!
I have NEVER understood why no navy and black together was a rule. Black goes with anything!! (Except dark brown maybe).
Oh, yes please. That's my favorite combo, I think... next to heather grey and HOT PINK, that is!
Together forever!
Oh, they most definitely go together. And thanks for finding these awesome pictures, I need to add them to my "work outfits" inspiration folder!
black and navy together forever, please. I did not know "NO" before.
hanh,

I think it can look sophisticated if done appropriately. So yes, I like it!
That Asian chick is amazingly hot.
I remember when it was a no-no as well even though I do it all the time now--what a great combo!
Time to throw away stale fashion rules! I'm loving that first look!
I think that it depends on the situation and the style
I think I love it....very fresh take and less boring than black on black
i was just hinking yesterday how navy and black are a perfection set to rival PB&J.
I think black and navy are BFFs. I love the way they look together...especially when paired with a simple basic like indigo denim or stripes or a white shirt. loves it.
oh yes definitely black and blue!! my dad used to say black and blue make a bruise but i totally disagree!!
I just realized I am wearing navy and black today. Ha!
wearing black and navy together adds dimension and interest. when i was younger it was definitely a no-no, lest people think you were slightly color-blind or got dressed in the dark.
you're right, it looks very fresh. i've been wearing black w/ navy for a couple of years now. i'm hooked.
i think its chic :)
