The only possible glitch I can think of would be wearing two navy pieces together. I've found a lot of color variation within navy, more so than black. If that wouldn't be a problem, then I think you should go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-959071 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:27:21 +0000 Helena 959071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the feedback - wonderful to know all you stylish ladies are into navy as well. Perhaps it's my years of Catholic school uniform that had scared me off it slightly - I've been a black-lover for many, many years &nbsp;but as I approach forty, I can't get around the fact that black just doesn't look as fresh as it once did. I've been experimenting with color to try to solve, but I'm a neutrals girl&nbsp;and loved my primarily black, white, and denim closet - now that I can just tweak it to&nbsp;it navy/ink blue, white and denim, think the problem's solved. Hooray!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958845 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:55:24 +0000 Deborah 958845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said!&nbsp; I am buying up as much navy, ink blue etc as I can </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958771 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:51:47 +0000 Sveta 958771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy is as classic as black so you should be safe.<br />But still nothing can beat the drama of black and white...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958744 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:21:00 +0000 Anonymous 958744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long live navy blue!

Often, &nbsp;when one reads about a couple of core colors to build a wardrobe around, navy is always mentioned ( along with gray, black , off-white ). &nbsp;I think that navy is a forever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958521 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:49:52 +0000 Suz 958521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE navy and ink blue, too, and would dearly love to replace all my black with it, but since that seems impossible (the black is always creeping in) I do happily wear them together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958512 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:43:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 958512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE navy &amp; ink &amp; it looks so much better on me than black.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm trying to replace my black too, the only worry I have is that it won't be available in the way black is always available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958496 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:36:37 +0000 Helena 958496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah fantastic&nbsp;- well if you say so Angie (and Raisin too!), then I'll go ahead with confidence&nbsp;- thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-it-safe-to-make-navy-my-new-black---or-does-its-trendiness-put-it-at-risk-of-becoming-passe-quickly#post-958485 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:30:34 +0000 Angie 958485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% with, Raisin.

However, because it's been so popular for the last few years, I'm almost afraid to replace all my black with it - is it still in "classic" territory, or with it being so popular now, do you think it will be passe in a year or two?</p> <p>Love to hear your thoughts; thanks! </p>
