Fall is here, along with the familiar and nostalgic reminders that come along with crisp morning air, kids off to school and the scent of pumpkin spice at our favorite bakeries and coffee shops. While it’s not quite time for heavy knits or winter jackets, there are other ways to embrace the changing seasons, like incorporating transitional colors into your wardrobe.
Our favorite color of the season? Navy!
Navy is the quintessential transitional color and just happens to be trending this year. It is a softer neutral than black, but just as versatile. Wear it with your summer whites or denim pieces for an effortlessly chic look.
Navy is our signature solid at Helen Jon and we’ve designed timeless swimwear and apparel in this beautiful deep shade of blue.
Ways to Wear Navy: Swimsuits, Loungewear & Dresses
Whether you have a fall break getaway or want to transition your wardrobe for the changing seasons, here are a few of our team’s favorite ways to wear navy pieces.
Switch Up Your Summer Swimwear with Navy Suits
If you live in a warm climate, you don’t have to put away your bathing suits just yet. Or perhaps you’re planning a fall or winter tropical retreat. Either way, our navy swimwear is classic and elegant.
Looking for a bikini that will truly never go out of style? We recommend our String Bikini Top and matching String Bikini Bottom. Style this bikini with our Kendall Crochet Dress in navy for an elevated monochromatic look. Want more coverage? Try our Olivia One-Piece featuring soft, adjustable shoulder straps and flattering shirring. To minimize your tan lines, we love our navy Twist Bandeau One-Piece.
Elevate Your Loungewear with a Navy Set
Whether you’re headed to school drop-off or your weekend Pilates class, stay comfy and stylish in our luxury navy loungewear. We love a matching set — pair our soft cotton Hoodie with the Logan Jogger and, since you might need to shed a layer, wear our Classic Tank in navy underneath. If you prefer a sportier piece to pair with the joggers, opt for our sleek full-zip Evy Jacket in navy.
Go from Day to Night with Navy Dresses
On those days when you just can’t get home for a quick change, our Monaco Wrap Dress is an easy and versatile piece that can be worn casually during the day and elegantly during the evening. For days when the mornings are cool and the afternoons are hot, layering will be your best friend. We love this pre-fall look — pair our Lilly Dress in navy with a light sweater tied over the shoulders and a trendy pair of flats.
Now if you’re still lying out by the pool or planning a trip someplace warm, a crochet dress is enduringly chic. Our Claudia Crochet Midi Dress in navy looks elegant worn with any swimsuit and sandals. And if you love the naked dress trend as much as we do, wear this dress during fall nights in the city - throw on a light-weight jacket and simple shoes, and you are ready to go!
************
As we say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, we’re incorporating navy throughout our wardrobes. While we absolutely love wearing black all winter long, we gravitate toward navy when the leaves start turning colors (it also beautifully complements an end-of-summer tan).
