Go minimal and rock the navy suit look

- OUR CORRESPOND­ENT

There is a reason for the navy blue suit to be the next big thing. already touted as one of the ‘IT’ trends for Fall-winter 2018, Navy Blue has made its presence felt across shows for Fall-winter 2017, as well as spring-summer 2018.

What is so exciting about the Navy Blue suit? “It’s dark, but it’s not black. It’s a stable colour, and can be used either as a neutral or as an accent. so before you decide how to wear the navy suit, it’s important to know when to wear it,” says rohan Khattar, Founder – Minizmo.

Here are some ways to rock the navy blue suit: 4KEEP IT SMOOTH: stick to 100% virgin wool fabrics, as they work well with navy. excessive matte finishes or very smooth suits can actually make a navy suit look too shiny. Make the attire classy by adding simple black cuffs. 4FLAUNT THE FORMALS: When in doubt, you can always pair a navy suit with a plain white stiff shirt for a formal look, but use it for specific occasions. a lighter coloured tie can add life to the entire ensemble.

4CONTRAST: Play the contrastin­g game, with a lighter blue shirt. This is an ultra-conservati­ve look, and perfect for the board room power play. add some relief to it with a solid contrastin­g tie in red or maroon. 4KEEP IT CASUAL: If you are looking for a more casual look, wear a pinstriped shirt under it, and let go of the tie. This look is perfect for a business casual dinner. one can also accessoriz­e it with smart cuffs or a quirky brooch. 4MINIMAL IS MORE:

Day-wear suits, especially for lunch, and weddings are perfectly paired with a simple light-pastel coloured shirt, and a tie in neutral tones. This adds elegance to the entire outfit, while keeping it less formal.
