    I think the best blue with black is a deep royal blue. Probably 40 years ago I saw a very fashionable friend of my mom's wearing a dark royal blue and black color block sheath dress with black sheer hose and high heels. Stunning. I don't like dark navy with black, the blue has to be lightened up for it to work.

    One morning, when I was living in NYC, I literally got dressed for an event in the dark. I didn't realize until I arrived at the event that I wore a black dress, black heels and NAVY tights. I was horrified and had a terrible time. I thought of taking off the tights, but it was freezing. I now keep all my navy and black completely separate. I write B or N in Sharpie on the label of my tights. Never again, lol.

      That’s happened to me, too. Fortunately, there was a pharmacy in the building that sold some tights, so I bought a black pair and changed. I still sometimes end up with one black and one navy sock, I wish they would make navy a little lighter so I can tell the difference, before I go out!

  • @carolbohn5900
    @carolbohn5900 Před 3 lety +7

    At the risk of sending too many comments.....lol....I think the reason your black dress didn't work with your navy silk trench is because your (exposed) legs break up the color scheme, if you know what I mean. The long black trousers provided a column of black so the jacket was highlighted. Also, the safari style of the jacket lends itself better to trousers than a dress, as despite having a dressy sheen, is casual in style. My 2 cents worth!

  • @vilmaoshea2829

    Yes navy and black seem to work when there is a greater contrast of colour. There is a better balance when you wear the short blue silk jacket with the black top and trousers; it looks purposefully put together whereas when you wear a blue jacket with the black dress the jacket looks like an afterthought; there is no ‘flow’ to the outfit. I like Victoria Beckham’’s outfit too except I don’t like the bag. I can’t see it properly but it looks like she is carrying her collection of vinyl records! Her frame is very petite and I don’t think the bag works for her. Might have better carrying a small briefcase if she is carrying work items. Thanks for a very interesting video. DONE.

    I think the dress would work better if black tights were worn - I think nude tights almost give an extra 'colour' to the outfit. Navy and black work well but only those two colours together maybe?

    I agree that the navy should be lighter and not so dark that it’s almost black. I also think the ratio of black to navy is important so that one doesn’t overwhelm the other. For example in your outfit there is a large portion of black with the top and slacks and the navy trench is almost an accent.

    I have been wearing black sweaters, shirts and blazers with jeans for forever. I love the look and think it is very sophisticated. There is always a good contrast, even with the darker wash jeans. In terms of other clothing pieces, it really depends on the contrast between the blue and the black, so I think we should think about pairing different shades of blue (not just navy) with different textures with black. Sometimes an outfit that is just so-so may be lacking in both contrast and proportion. IMHO, proportion is a critical element of sophisticated style.

    Done! Thank you! Interesting topic as always! I find that other than the texture of the cloth - that you mention - the tone of the black and blue cloth also plays a part. There are warmer and cooler blacks and blues. This becomes obvious while combining gray colors, but more subtle with blacks. Staying on one side of the color spectrum (cool or warm) usually helps making a combination more harmonious.

    I have just bought a pair of navy blue trousers and teamed it with a black camisole and a Lilysilk short sleeved navy blouse. The lace on the camisole peeking out of the blouse looked much better than I would have thought. For my eye it is either an accent of black/navy or reflective quality of the pieces of how this works - light plays a big part in colour perception for me. Very good topic I like to banish my preconceptions.

    Hi Marie Anne...loved this black and blue conversation...I think that blue trench coat would pair well with the blue Jean's and black silk shirt you are wearing...I agree with everything else you commented on. Thx this was great.
    I'm bringing in more navy into my wardrobe where there is mostly black
    Please do more black and blue.

      @@MarieAnneLecoeur You are such an inspiration! I bought my very first silk blouse (I spired by you❤️) and and I am wearing it constantly, I can't believe what I've been missing! Thank you so much for all the valueable info that you put out there fo all of us!

    You made me travel back to my teenage years. I loved wearing black and blue. My favorite outfits were with a black jeans and an electric blue sweater for casual wear and my wool dark blue sweater with a white shirt and black trousers for something more formal.
    However is not an easy combination because as you showed us, a very dark blue can look boring and monotonous.
    I love your blue trench coat!

    Marie-Anne, I have always liked navy and black together but I do think it’s the contrast of the colors with style and fabric of the garments contributing to if it goes together or no, as well. The trench coat ( which was stunning) looked ok with the dress but fabulous with the pants! I think the contrast of the long line of black from the pants helped with that. The juxtaposition of the amount of black and navy plays a great deal into why it goes together so well in some outfits versus others, in my opinion.
    Loved this video, it makes me think and analyze my own closet! ❤️

    DONE. Navy blue is my new neutral. Not that I've not worn blue or navy blue in the past. There was just more black in my wardrobe before. I like that navy blue is seasonless, especially when used with white. My first Lilysilk purchase included a sleeveless button down navy silk blouse and a sleeveless navy silk shirt dress. I think what I have learned from you in previous videos, that this video highlights for me, is that texture and sheen make a difference.

    In my opinion it did not work with the dress because of the nude of the legs. Wearing black opaque tights would make the outfit similar to rhe one with the black trousers. Love your FCL channel.

    I enjoyed this video. I agree with your comments on wearing black and navy together. I think the outfit where you wear the black pants, top, and the navy trench coat works the best. I think it is because of the shade of navy and the sheen of the trench coat. I have always thought black and navy together is very tricky, so I usually avoid wearing it together

    I went to a wedding years ago, I wore a dress that was a black and lighter shade of navy, I also,wore a necklace that had both those colors entwined together , with black heels, I received many compliments, I just think you can wear black and blue as long as it’s not a very dark navy

    interesting...i think it depends on the variant shades, the cut of clothing, accessorizing , your coloring etc... black and brown is one of those color combinations... i love blue and brown..

    @suzannehall5200 Před 3 lety

    Done.
    I agreed with you on all of these. I think the last one, with the silk jacket, works beautiful when you move it shimmers and both navy and purple were flashing, especially around the back, so it isn’t straight navy. It’s more complicated and interesting.

  • @kezsofasogood
    @kezsofasogood Před rokem +1

    You definitely need a bigger contrast between the blue and black. Some shades of "navy" blue are so close to black you don't notice until you're very close. My mum always says it's better to have a contrast than a bad match when it comes to colours. A cobalt or peacock/electric blue would be a very good contrast as you can see the shape of both garments.

    Interesting video Marie-Anne. Great discussion. I think black and navy can work well together, especially if there is a contrast in the finishes or textures of the fabrics e.g. shiny and matt or silk and denim. 💖

    And I love this video because I had been educated like you not to mix them. But thanks to an english coat in navy blue with black velvet details, I started moving this way.
    And I discovered Lilysilk thanks to you more than six monthes ago, love it!!! I've already bought a lot from them... But I still can't find the summer top I'm looking for in their collection...
