      If you grew up with a passion for fashion during a similar time as I did, you likely came across a lot of discussions about color clashes—particularly how brown, navy, and black were deemed the most problematic. The way people spoke about wearing these colors together, even in pairs, made it seem like a serious fashion faux pas. However, they actually complement each other quite well. In 2025, combinations of brown and navy or black and brown are arguably some of the most stylish color partnerships, and Kaia Gerber recognizes this. The 24-year-old model and actress was seen leaving Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills this week alongside her parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, further proving how misguided the critics of clashing neutrals were in the early 2000s. For this outing, Gerber opted for a black leather jacket, black low-rise pants, dark-brown ballet flats from Repetto (her favored brand), and a navy handbag.

Specifically, Gerber carried a blue flap bag from Chanel, but there are numerous navy handbag options available in the market today. Liffner's croc-effect clutch is gaining popularity online, and suede versions range from Madewell to The Row. Regardless of where you purchase one or how much you invest, a navy handbag will always exude elegance, especially when paired with black and brown accents. Scroll down to recreate Gerber's family-night look, and then explore the best navy handbags currently available.
