Tired of black? All the stylish women I know are currently sporting outfits in this sophisticated color instead.

      If I were to rummage through my wardrobes—yes, I have more than one, and yes, I’ve been putting off the task because they’re quite disorganized—I would likely find two or three navy items. This includes my indigo denim jeans. Navy is just not a color I typically gravitate towards, and with my hair often reflecting red tones, I feel it can sometimes give my hair a brassy look. Additionally, I find that it can make some pieces appear somewhat outdated. However, with an abundance of navy options this season, I've become smitten with a chunky navy sweater from Jaeger, and I'm set on making it work for me—even if that means tying my hair back into a ponytail to mitigate my color concerns.

      To challenge my assumptions and uncover why navy separates are a staple for so many sophisticated outfits, I set out to discover the chicest navy ensembles available. They succeeded in changing my previous views on the color, leading me to even think about getting a navy coat this season instead of the black one I had been coveting. I’ve become a new admirer of Div’s navy pinstripe look paired with a grey knit draped over the shoulders—navy and grey are a perfect match, by the way—and I adore Danielle’s effortlessly styled navy suede trousers combined with a leather jacket and cream heels. Plus, with ideas for wearing navy in the evening (goodbye, little black dress) and the return of the navy slip skirt (I should probably dig out my Topshop version), I’ve found seven luxurious-looking navy outfits that will either deepen your love for this color or convince you to embrace it—trust me!

      7 All-Navy Outfits I'm Copying This Winter:

      1. Navy Coat + Grey Jumper + Indigo Jeans

      Style Notes: Still undecided on your new winter coat? Div is advocating for a pinstripe style, and I’m all in. This combination adds warmth to a simple outfit, and I’ve come to appreciate navy paired with grey and white—so straightforward yet so effective.

      Shop the Look:

      - River Island

      Navy Pinstripe Double Breasted Coat

      I’d recommend picking this in one or two sizes larger for a more dramatic shoulder look.

      - COS

      Column Straight-Leg Jeans

      It’s no surprise so many fashion editors (myself included) adore these.

      - Khaite

      Nevada Leather Ankle Boots

      A wise investment.

      - & Other Stories

      Relaxed Knit Jumper

      This lightweight layer is perfect for wearing over coats, blazers, and other knits.

      2. Leather Jacket + Navy Suede Trousers + Cream Shoes

      Style Notes: Combining leather and suede textures always looks sophisticated, which is why Danielle’s outfit changed my perception of navy. The suede trousers give the color a fresh twist for this season, and I’m all for dressing up a casual look with sleek heels.

      Shop the Look:

      - Allsaints

      Ryder Funnel Neck Jacket

      This funnel neck version is a great alternative to a more niche leather cape jacket.

      - Whistles

      Blue Suede Western Trousers

      Suede is having a moment—yes, even in trousers.

      - BOTTEGA VENETA

      Campana Intrecciato Leather Shoulder Bag

      I can’t stop thinking about this bag.

      - ARRANGE

      Arrange Agnes Premium Leather Heeled Mules in Off White

      These appear to be just the right pair for me.

      3. Navy Jumper + Striped Shirt + Grey Trousers

      Style Notes: I drew inspiration from how to style my new navy knit through Annabel’s look, using the shirt-tied-around-the-waist trick that sealed the deal for me. It’s an excellent styling hack that makes a striped shirt versatile beyond summer.

      Shop the Look:

      - Reformation

      Cove Cashmere Oversized Crew

      Reformation cashmere is unbeatable.

      - MANGO

      Pleated Wide Leg Trousers

      These seem like the ideal fit.

      - With Nothing Underneath

      The Classic: Fine Poplin, Royal Blue Stripe

      Proof that a striped shirt can be worn in every season.

      - SAINT LAURENT EYEWEAR

      Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses

      I’m all in for sunglasses paired with winter outfits.

      4. Navy Pinstripe Skirt Suit + Clutch + Slingbacks

      Style Notes: Step aside little black dress, for the party season I’ll be taking cues from Caroline and opting for a navy power suit. Featuring a cinched waist blazer and a split maxi skirt in navy pinstripe, this ensemble means business beyond the office.

      Shop the Look:

      - MESHKI

      Bellamy Cinched Blazer Navy Pinstripe

      I'm totally swooning over that cinched waist detail.

      - MESHKI

      Cassie Column Maxi Skirt Navy Pinstripe

      Okay, I’m sold on this set.

      - SAINT LAURENT

      Jeanne Embellished Glossed
