While I think that there's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing black during the spring and summer, many of us have been wearing black for months on end and are ready for a change—a just as versatile change, that is. When you think of color trends, you probably think of bold ones or pretty pastels. But sometimes, color trends can be quite understated and quiet. This season, that color trend is navy blue. The runways for the past several seasons have declared over and over again that navy is back, and this has now become a mainstream fact.
The beauty of navy is that it's relevant year-round, and it works with every color black does (including black, actually), but it makes your outfits look a bit more interesting than black does, due to its unexpectedness. I've been ramping up my spring shopping, and at the top of my list are a few new navy pieces to wear all season long (and beyond). Keep scrolling to shop the best ones I found. You're welcome.
So many of our editors own this J.Crew skirt.
I found the springtime bag you've been searching for, and it's under $150.
Ref has so much good navy blue stuff right now.
These Aritzia pants are viral for a reason.
Far more elevated than your average T-shirt dress.
I predict these will sell out in April.
The classic accessory owned by every cool celeb.
Just think of the many ways there are to wear this.
It doesn't get more 2025 than a pair of navy skinny pants.
In a word, elegant.
Chocolate brown suede jackets are great, but navy suede jackets might be even cooler.
An easy yes. No notes.
Love a sporty (yet elevated) pair of slides.
I'm guessing you already have plenty of pairs of black leggings.
You'll wear this weekly. Trust me.
Just add jeans.
This is quite possibly the perfect spring jacket.
A J.Crew shopper favorite.
I'd wear this all the time if it were mine.
My current navy blue dream bag.
Yep, polos are more popular than ever.
Hurry—they're selling out.
Don't forget the matching skirt.
A cardigan draped over your shoulders is the perfect preppy finishing touch.
These are the perfect pants for travel.
Such a steal for such a good blazer.
I own this skirt in three colors (including navy).
One more excellent cardigan, for good measure.
The kind of pants you'll probably still be wearing 10 years from now.
