Why choose navy shoes <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navy shoes<\/a> are the epitome of stylish dressing. A classic, timeless colour that\u2019s always in style, navy footwear can be a sophisticated choice for any formal or relaxed setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A softer, less harsh alternative to black, navy is surprisingly easy to style. Pairing beautifully with several colours and shades, including white, beige, grey, and even other shades of blue, navy footwear works beautifully with lighter shades where black footwear may be too severe a contrast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose navy shoes to maintain a polished look, whatever the occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy and the colour wheel <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure which colours to pair with your navy footwear, utilising a colour wheel can help you get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy and other shades of blue sit between indigo and aqua on the colour wheel. These are known as analogous colours, and when used together, they create harmony and a seamless flow that\u2019s easy on the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colours that sit together on the colour wheel often share a common hue but vary slightly in saturation. Many analogous colours are often seen together in nature, blending perfectly and creating a harmonious flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, navy tends to pair well with its neighbours, aqua and indigo, and this is a great place to start when putting together an outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, pairing colours opposite on the colour wheel can also make for a winning combination. These are known as complementary colours. When combined, each hue is amplified to create a stylish statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmer-toned shades such as burnt orange and mustard, sitting opposite shades of blue on the colour wheel, pair beautifully with navy\u2019s cooler tones to create a vibrant yet harmonious ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it\u2019s important to remember that colour theory is just a guide. Other factors need to be considered, such as skin tone and the shades of the colours you\u2019re pairing together. Still, the colour wheel can be a great starting point if you’re unsure which colours work well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
