Sorry to the Black Pieces in My Closet—I'm Obsessed With This Equally Chic, Classic Color for Fall
It's a total cliché, but I prioritize black clothing when it comes to my outfit rotations. Recently, I have been opening myself up to another equally chic, classic color: navy. I strive to keep a rich-looking, elevated closet, so the timeless color fits right at home. I'm not alone in this, either. I have seen more and more celebrities and fashion people adopting the darker hue, especially for the fall season.
Below, I'm rounding up five incredibly chic fall outfit ideas with navy pieces from London to France. These inspiring women show just how stylish the color can truly be. Think everything from navy sweaters and polo tops to button-downs, skirts, and more. I also threw in some extra pieces that need your immediate attention, such as an effortless navy dress.
