There’s something about navy. Not quite as stark as black, not as casual as grey, and far more intriguing than beige. Navy invites a different kind of confidence—the kind that whispers rather than shouts. At Elle & Riley, we return to this shade often, not as a fallback, but as a foundation. It’s where elegance lives quietly.

In Deep With Navy: The Color That Replaces Nothing—But Enhances Everything


The Mood of Navy
While black might dominate the fashion lexicon for its drama and edge, navy offers an alternative form of strength—softer, more refined. It evokes trust, stillness, and timeless authority. Think deep ocean, midnight sky, polished interiors. Navy doesn’t command attention; it earns it, slowly and assuredly.
Our navy pieces, spun from 100% A-grade cashmere, carry that quiet power with them. They envelop rather than overwhelm. The color deepens in natural light, shifting subtly in tone with the time of day. That fluidity makes navy endlessly wearable, all year long.


Navy and Black: The New Pairing of Modern Luxury
Once considered a styling faux pas, the pairing of navy and black now defines modern sophistication. Together, they create tonal depth without contrast. A navy sweater over tailored black trousers. A navy wrap thrown across a black coat. There’s mystery in the combination—a refined rebellion that elevates both hues.
At Elle & Riley, we don’t see navy as the new black. We see it as the color that enhances black, that gives it softness and dimension. It’s not a replacement; it’s a refinement.
A Year-Round Essential
From crisp winter mornings in Queenstown to cool summer evenings in Los Angeles, navy offers a timeless versatility. It transitions effortlessly across seasons, offering depth without heaviness, elegance without excess.
In our collection, navy isn’t limited to one silhouette. It appears in sweaters, wraps, and scarves—each piece designed to work with everything you already own, and perhaps, become the piece you reach for most.
