Sorry to the Black Pieces In My Closet—I'm Obsessed With This Equally Chic Classic Color for Fall

It's a total cliché but I am a blackaholic when it comes to my outfit rotations. Recently, I have been opening myself up more to another equally chic classic color: navy. I strive to keep a rich-looking, elevated closet so the timeless color fits right at home. I'm not alone in this either. I have seen more and more celebrities and fashion people adopting the darker hue into their looks, especially for the fall season.

Below, I roundup five incredibly chic fall outfit ideas with navy pieces from London to France. These inspiring women show just how stylish the color can truly be. Think everything from navy sweaters to polo tops, button-downs, skirts, and more. I also threw in some extra pieces that need your immediate attention as well including an effortless navy dress. Keep scrolling to get shopping.
