In The Navy

Navy is the new black- didn’t you know? All the fashion magazines are telling us so, and they happen to be correct. While black can wash some folks out and sometimes feels a bit flat, navy somehow has more depth and warmth than its other neutral counterparts. And what a fantastic coincidence that navy is the new black, because navy is everywhere this year. Navy is as sharp and stylish as you want it to be. It is stunning as a shiny evening gown at an awards show or crisp as a blazer on a lady who lunches, or trendy as a cape on a girl heading out on a date. Also, with all things nautical being more popular than ever, navy, and in particular navy and white stripes, is seeing a swell in fashion adoration. Warm up your wardrobe and home with a few new navy pieces- you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how far one deep, dark shade of blue can go. Herewith are a few of our current faves.

• Alexander McQueen Enameled Brass Skull Ring

  

  A little touch of bad-ass goes a long, long way, and this brass ring by Alexander McQueen is a great example of that. Navy enamel is subtle enough, but then you notice the gunmetal skull and realize you’re dealing with one tough chick.
