What colors go with navy blue?
Best colors with navy blue
- White. A crisp, classic contrast. Navy and white works for work, weekends and summer.
- Cream. Warmer than white and gentler against navy, especially in knitwear.
- Camel. A rich pairing. Camel coat over navy, or navy trousers with a camel sweater.
- Light grey. Calm and tonal. Good for suits and for a quiet office outfit.
- Burgundy. Deep and smart. Navy suit with a burgundy tie, or a burgundy knit over navy.
- Blush pink. A soft contrast that lightens navy without making it fussy.
Colors to be careful with
- Black. Navy and black can work, but only when one is clearly the main colour, as the two can look like a mistake together.
- Dark brown. Works in good light, but both are dark and the outfit can look flat.
Three outfits

- Navy knit, camel coat, cream scarf.
- Navy dress with blush pink shoes and a camel bag.
