There is a great old Johnny Carson episode where George Gobel was the last guest following superstars at the time: Dean Martin and Bob Hope. Gobel delivers this brilliant line “ did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?” Not quite the same but dark brown and navy can have that same mismatch look. About half the time when I see the two combined it looks like someone got dressed in their closet with the lights out. Each are staple colors of menswear and while beige, tans, greys, grayish browns, and heathered browns look excellent with navy, typically a deep brown and navy combined just misses somehow…..unless one can tie it in with intention and harmonization. This is what I attempted today. I started with the light blue POW patterned shirt added the merino wool sweater and then constructed from there. I tried to use accessories and the light tan coat to do so.
