Move over black, here comes a color more flattering on the complexion yet just as versatile, and even as slimming…enter navy blue. Seen on everything from evening wear (demonstrated above on the beautiful Sandra Bullock) to leather jackets and handbags, this rich hue is making a huge splash this winter. My favorite color, navy is more becoming against the skin; less harsh than black or gray, it can illuminate your complexion rather than washing it out. And, just like any other neutral color (read: black, grey, taupe, etc), navy can be paired with most any color…even black.  Such a chic combination, “fashion rules” be damned!
