I'll Know You "Get It" If I See You Wearing This Bag Color With Black or Brown (or Both)

If you grew up interested in fashion anywhere near the same time as I did, you probably read a lot about clashing, with brown, navy, and black being the worst culprits of all. The way people talked about wearing these colors all at once (or even just two at a time) made it out like it was a criminal offense, when in reality, they actually pair quite beautifully together. In fact, in 2025, wearing brown with navy, or black with brown for that matter, is arguably the chicest shade partnership. And Kaia Gerber knows it.

The 24-year-old model and actress was spotted leaving Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills with her mom, Cindy Crawford, and dad, Rande Gerber, this week, where the couple's youngest further proved just how wrong critics of "clashing" neutrals were in the 2000s. For the occasion, Gerber chose a black leather jacket, black low-rise trousers, a dark-brown pair of ballet pumps from her go-to brand, Repetto, and a navy-blue handbag.

On Kaia Gerber: Repetto shoes; Chanel bag

Her bag color has been garnering praise of late after brands like Bottega Veneta and Alaïa debuted styles in the refined hue, testing it as an alternative to the more obvious black, brown, and even burgundy. Specifically, Gerber wore a blue flap bag from Chanel, but there are plenty of navy-blue handbag options on the market nowadays for you to choose from. Liffner's croc-effect clutch is on the rise online, and suede versions run the gamut from Madewell to The Row. No matter where you buy one or how much you spend, a navy-blue handbag will always look chic, especially so if you dare to wear it with black and brown accents.
