In the midnight hour navy is my standby shade. Never mind purple's prominence this season or black's desperate attempts to be the shade du jour. Again. Navy looks subversive on a young(ish) body (although in twenty years time I see myself steering away from the staunchly establishment shade), it stands out in a flock of raven LBDs and looks refined amongst slivers of cheap lame. Just one of these pieces will instantly chicify your look. Shop on.
