This combination is quite suitable for an evening out, designers have been proving this to us for many years.

With blue
Dark blue goes well with all shades of blue, including blue. If you have such a versatile item in your wardrobe as a blue denim jacket, you can safely wear it over a navy blue sundress or casual dress. With the same success, a denim jacket can be replaced by a blue cardigan or jacket - this option is more suitable for a strict dress that is usually worn in the office. A warm, knitted navy dress is perfect with bright blue tights: this unexpected detail will help you create an original, slightly mischievous look.


With red
Dark blue in combination with red may seem to someone an extravagant or even daring decision, but in fact such a combination is quite justified and looks very harmonious.

Red looks bright and fresh against a dark, muted blue hue. Accessories and shoes made of shiny or matte red leather will perfectly complement both casual and festive or business looks. At the same time, shades of red can be very different: from scarlet to cherry.




With green
The combination of green and blue colors is one of the most harmonious, as it is often found in nature. The most striking example is the incredible beauty of the underwater world, in which hundreds of shades of these colors echo.

The dark blue color is perceived by many as very gloomy, so green accessories are a great way to "dilute" a dark outfit, to make it fresher and more dynamic. Green shoes and a handbag are perfect for a dark blue dress.



With black
The combination of navy and black is a classic color scheme for business suits and evening dresses. This discreet combination is perfect for formal occasions. To prevent the look from getting too dark, it is recommended to complement it with contrasting details. For an office outfit, this can be a light strap or a shirt (if the style of the dress allows you to put on a shirt under it).




A dress for special occasions simply needs to be accompanied by sparkling jewelry - even if it is jewelry, the main thing is that it is of good quality.

With orange
An unexpected combination of dark blue and orange colors looks bright and romantic in summer. This color is most suitable for light, feminine dresses - with a clearly defined waistline and a flared skirt. The orange-blue color scheme is reminiscent of the vibrant colors of exotic birds or tropical flowers. A dress in orange and blue tones must be taken with you on vacation, because it perfectly sets off a beautiful southern tan. In such an outfit, you will definitely not go unnoticed.


Length
So, a navy blue dress is suitable for a variety of occasions, you just need to find the right model. The first thing to consider is the length of the dress.
Long
A long dress in dark blue is, of course, an option for special occasions. A wedding, a graduation party, a New Year's Eve - these are exactly those situations when a dress to the floor will be most welcome.



A long dark blue dress can be with a bodice or with a closed bodice, have a tight-fitting skirt or a fluffy one. There are evening dresses with long guipure sleeves, as well as asymmetrical dresses with only one sleeve. A girl dressed in a long dark blue dress, as if shrouded in mystery, therefore inevitably arouses the interest of others.





Midi
The choice of mid-length dresses is simply huge: these are frivolous sundresses, casual knitwear dresses, loose shirt dresses, and sheaths.
Fans of dark blue always have several dresses of different models in their wardrobe, which help out in any situation. Midi dresses have one big advantage - they can be worn at a variety of events, regardless of the format. In a navy blue dress with a knee-length skirt, you can come to work and then go on a date.



A short
A short navy dress can be an outfit both for a hot summer day and for a cocktail party, it all depends on the chosen style and fabric.

Cocktail dresses are usually made from denser materials. The dress, in which you are going to dance, can be tight-fitting or have a fluffy skirt (in the latter case, the model looks a bit like a ballet tutu). Top options can be infinitely many: open bodice, neckline, American armhole, etc. Light summer dresses are usually sewn from thin, natural fabrics and their style is often completely uncomplicated.





Lace, guipure
A woman wearing a lace dress looks incredibly attractive. At the same time, the dress does not have to be transparent: models with a lining in a neutral or contrasting color look no less impressive.

Dark blue lace can be the perfect outfit for a cocktail party or a gala evening. A dress made of lace looks very beautiful, closed in front, but with a deep cut in the back. Such a dress is the most suitable excuse to demonstrate a beautiful posture. For those who do not like openwork dresses, we recommend models with lace details, for example, with guipure sleeves.






Velvet
The navy blue velvet dress is a real classic. It is perfect for festive and cultural events. In this outfit, you can appear at a dinner party and at a theatrical premiere.

A velvet dress is most often long, form-fitting, with a beautiful neckline on the chest or on the back. You can wear your very best jewelry with a blue velvet outfit, but remember that the sheen should be in moderation.



Satin
Satin is a fairly dense and heavy material, so it is best to choose it for evening dresses.

Satin dresses can be not only long, but also mini. The only thing to consider is that this fabric does not drape well, so it will not be easy to find a satin dress with a fluffy skirt. When choosing jewelry for a satin outfit, remember that this material shines in artificial light, so try to do without a lot of rhinestones and other shiny details.




Dotted
Dresses with polka dots, although they belong to the retro style, look most harmonious on very young girls. As a rule, it is a short dress with a naughty pleated skirt.




However, a polka dot dress is not always a frivolous outfit. Older girls can choose a model of medium length, straight or slightly tight, with a strap to match the pattern.

With a collar
Dresses with a collar, despite the fact that they are usually associated with business style, look very cute. In such a dress, even an adult girl can feel like a high school student. A dark blue dress with a collar can be worn for school and work, and then appear in it at a meeting with friends.The collars can be of the same fabric as the dress, or they can have a contrasting texture and color. Flirty ribbons on the collar will add lightness and romance to even a strict look.


What to wear with?
The good thing about a dark blue dress is that on the basis of this garment, you can create many sets, suitable for a variety of occasions. Experiment - change shoes, accessories, jewelry, come up with your own, unique looks.

Accompany a dark blue dress with glossy red shoes and the same lipstick, you can turn into a real seductress. Throwing a strict jacket over a dark blue dress and picking up a voluminous matte leather clutch, you can play the role of a business woman.



Jewelry, bijouterie
Dark blue is a restrained and calm color, so the image in this color scheme can be safely diluted with all kinds of decorations.


If we are talking about an evening dress, then jewelry made of gold and silver is perfect for it. Sapphires in white gold are in perfect harmony with a dark blue dress. For light, summer looks, simple but high-quality jewelry is suitable. For example, a romantic dark blue dress can be complemented with bright beads or large earrings made of multi-colored beads or stones.



Tights
Tights for a dark blue dress should be chosen depending on the season. A universal option is thin tights of flesh color or with a slight tan.

In the cold season, black tights are suitable for such a dress - translucent or dense.



Colored tights periodically come back into fashion, so you can safely wear tights of bright colors, for example, green or yellow, to a casual dark blue dress.


Shoes
It's great if you have black or beige shoes in your wardrobe - they are perfect for a dark blue dress, however, as well as for almost any outfit.



Shoes in contrasting colors should not be ignored either.


Red, yellow or green shoes will look really impressive with a dress in dark blue, provided that you can guess with a shade.



Classic pumps are suitable for an elegant dress, and sandals or sandals of neutral colors can be purchased for a summer outfit.



Makeup
The biggest mistake girls make when choosing makeup for a navy dress is the predominance of blue and blue colors. Stylists advise not to try on the image of the Snow Maiden, but to focus on a warmer, contrasting palette.

Experiment with golden, beige and pink shades of eyeshadow. For lips, choose a lipstick of a bright or, conversely, a natural tone. Use lip gloss for a volumizing effect.



Manicure
Blue varnish looks really beautiful only on well-groomed hands. If you can boast of a flawless manicure, then you can choose one of the shades of blue varnish for a dark blue dress.

Light glossy varnish allows you to hide all the defects of the manicure, moreover, it always looks natural and not striking. For everyday manicure for a dark blue dress, we advise you to choose a pale pink or beige varnish. For a bold look, use a rich shade of varnish such as scarlet or emerald.



The dark blue dress is universal: it can be worn to work, for a walk, and in a cafe. Manicure, it seems to me, is best done neutral.
