Style Tips

Black & Blue

December 13, 2017

Can we just start with Jackie O? I mean, she picked up wearing black and navy together from some of the greats -- YSL and Chanel -- and took it to a whole new level.

If you haven't tried it, you just must. It's the chicest combo and takes nearly no effort.

Black, and navy is a combination for every age, every style, men and women alike. If you want to be chic beyond measure and look like you didn't even try... just wear a navy pant and a black blouse or sweater. Or reverse it. Try a navy suit with a black T or a turtleneck. Go on...

My clients say... "Really? I can do that?" And the answer is an emphatic yes, yes, yes. You will get compliments every time. Text me when you do!
