From our friends at thefind.com:
As avid fashion mavens, shoppers, and trend watchers, we’ve always heard that “less is more.” Sometimes we take that into consideration (ie: the simple yet iconic little black dress, the moderate use of bronzer), while other times we tend to throw that mantra to the wayside for the sake of fashion risks – for better or worse (ie: denim-on-denim ensembles, sequined leopard print).

Navy looks fantastically improper (and anything but wrong) when paired with black accessories. The best practice for putting together a black and blue look is to make sure the colors are distinguishable from each other (i.e. don’t pair a hue of navy-black with a matte black item), and keep the fabrications in similar families, i.e. silks with other light weight fabrics, wovens with wovens, jersey with jersey).
