You’re in the Navy Now
‍The Midnight-Noir Edit: When Navy Meets Black
‍
So begins my love affair with blue. Navy—I’m enchanted. She reigns in darkness. Unlike her swarthier cousin, Black, she exudes subtle depth and nuance—quiet luxury.
‍
‍
But marry her with black?
That’s where the dark magic truly engages—fall fashion at its best.
‍
Long regarded as a fashion faux-pas, black and navy have risen above the noise, silenced their critics, and are crooning the siren song Midnight Noir.
‍
Are you listening? Of course you are.
‍
Mic Drop.
‍
Wardrobe NYC Double-Breasted Black Blazer
‍Nobody makes a blazer like Wardrobe NYC.
The double-breasted black? A classic.
She reigns day and night—commanding with your favorite pair of jeans and equally at home with your sleekest black kick flare or trouser.
A kitten heel, a sling back, or even a Samba? She doesn’t play favorites.
You’re welcome.
‍
Veronica Beard Mazzy Sleeveless Turtleneck Sweater
‍Oh, Mazzy, you had me at hello—sleeveless turtlenecks always do.

She’s the loyal wardrobe staple that you’ll reach for again and again, season after season.

Acne Studios Checked-Pattern Fringe Scarf
‍The OG who’s spawned a million dupes—she’s worth the hype.
Layer her with your favorite wool coat, or loop her over a trench.
She whispers luxe while still adding a little color to your monochrome ensemble.
And if this color way has you singing the blues? Acne has you covered; she comes in a million flavors. Choose wisely.

High Sport Kick Flare
‍IYKYK.
These pants are it—literally.
Flattering, fabulous, and feel like leggings?
Seriously, say less.
The price tag? Admittedly, little hard to swallow—it always is.
But find them on sale? Claim them immediately.
They are that good.
You’ll thank me, even if your wallet doesn’t.
‍Wallets have never been my friends—those fickle creatures.
‍
Toteme Square-Toed Kitten-Heeled Mule
‍This kitten? She’s no square.
Back from the archives, this Toteme mule delivers.
Perfect with a kick flare, equally beguiling peaking out from underneath a wide-leg jean.
Pencil skirt? She’s your girl—pencil her in.
Toteme? They’re doing everything right, she says as she adds to cart.
‍
Another Tomorrow Cashmere Turtleneck
‍This turtle? She’s come out of her shell, and she’s having her day in the sun.
A beautiful elevated basic, Another Tomorrow won’t steer you wrong.
Sublime with denim, equally lovely with a navy or black pant, this is the cashmere you’ll want to immediately add to your sweater stack.
Capsule wardrobe perfection that earns the CbC stamp of approval.

I thought not.
‍
Paris Texas Suede Anja Boot
‍If I found these suede beauties in my bed?
Well, I wouldn’t give them the boot.

Let the starlight shine.
‍
Valentino Garavani Pussybow Pouf Sleeve Blouse
‍This pouf sleeve blouse? Oh, Meow.
This pussy is one cool cat.

Pair her with a dark-rinse straight leg and strut into the night like the feline queen you are.
‍
Khaite Abigail Jean in Benson
‍Oh, Abigail. She’s quite literally the denim of your dreams.
No one—and I mean no one—does a jean like Khaite.
The dark rinse? The color of the moment, and Khaite has honed it to perfection.
Your derrière? No if, ands, or butts, she’ll thank you.
‍
Chanel Ballet Flats
‍The ubiquitous ballet flat in midnight noir.
She needs no other words.
Chanel never disappoints.

Perfection.

The gold charm? Icing on the cake.
‍
Jennifer Behr Everly Lapis Earrings
‍The finishing touch—Everly brings the sparkle, the polish, the perfect whisper of blue to pull it all together.
