A W2WW friend, Lynn from Great Britain wrote with a super stylish question, “I have a couple navy dress in cashmere. What color boots or shoes should I wear with them? Lucky girl to have the luxury of multiple cashmere dresses in your closet. They are so versatile and one of our favorite ways to go in the colder weather. About the pairings – nothing is chicer that navy blue and black. But to avoid looking like you didn’t have a pair of navy shoes, and wearing black, hoping no one would notice, we suggest reinforcing the theme. Use black, not just shoes and boots, but carry the scheme into your accessories, bag and jewelry.
