Ladylike or masculine, navy is the most modern of colours
Navy is a flattering colour to wear. Not in the complexion-enhancing sense so much as in the more significant all-round-vibe-enhancing sense. It won’t make your cheeks look peachy or your eyes piercing, it will emphasise your sparkling mind and innate class. Think of it like Touche Éclat for your personality instead of your under-eye shadows.
The magic happens because wearing navy makes you look like the sort of person who wears navy, and that is in itself a good look. Simple as that. The sort of person who wears navy has more gravitas than the person who wears, say, pink, but she doesn’t take herself quite as seriously as the person who wears black. She is as chic as the person who wears grey, but a little more grounded. She has just the right amount of French-girl allure: the messy-haired sexy bit, without the calculated coquettishness.
