When it comes to clothes, black is a major hit for many reasons: It’s slimming and sophisticated, versatile and low-key. But navy blue does all that – and goes one better. It’s less harsh than black and thus more flattering to most skin tones, especially if you’re over 35.* My favorite thing? It offers the perfect counterpoint to spring’s bright accessories and jackets.

* This rule goes for makeup, too: At a certain age, it’s a good idea to trade your black kohl eye liner for a chocolate, navy or deep gray – it’s a softer, more forgiving effect.
Which alternative works best on you?
Love,
Loren
