How to wear a navy overshirt?
Overshirts come in all colours these days and sometimes that can overwhelm you. Don't worry, then this part of our overshirt guide is just for you. You probably already have plenty of navy blue in your wardrobe, but it's not always easy to know which colours to wear with it. Have fun reading!
The smart blue
You think of navy blue straight away when you think of menswear, but also when you think of smart and formal. This is because most suits are in fact dark blue. Likewise, when you choose a formal or business shirt, you will think of blue or white. So let's take a look at which shades go best with your navy blue overshirt. After reading this guide, you'll have no more excuses for your colour faux pas.
We just talked about it: the white shirt. It's a stalwart ally of our most formal outfits and harmonises very well with blue. And not without reason, because the colour white stands for purity, peace and simplicity. And blue, which also stands for freshness and purity, offers a nice contrast to this.
To accentuate this formal, navy look, we advise you to keep your bottoms in the same colour and always opt for blue trousers. Chinos or suits, the choice is yours. But if you've already had enough of blue, we have an emergency solution for you: beige trousers. This colour generally goes perfectly with our navy blue. It resembles white, but is warmer and therefore the perfect combination colour. They also underline the formal and classic side of your outfit, even at work beige goes very well with an office look.
Special remarks
This is about little recommendations that come to mind when you think of navy blue. And to make sure you don't miss them, we'll start with the fashion faux pas. Can you see it coming? It's black. It is strictly forbidden to wear a black piece with a navy blue. If it's just the shoes, we're gracious, but black trousers with a shirt jacket is a no-go. And now a little tip: we suggest you combine a nice pair of colourful socks. Orange or yellow make a nice contrast to the deep navy blue and liven up your look.
