Go minimal and rock the navy suit look

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.

Keep 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.

Flaunt 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.

Contrast: 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.

Keep it casual: If you are looking for a more casual look, wear a pin-striped 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.

Minimal 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.
