post a commentMy mother always said that mixing blue and black is very French. You see the colors combined in some of Marc Jacobs recent prints.
I love dark blue with black!
I like the outfit, but the shoes seem out of place. I think it is the color of them.
Both my mother-in-law and my sis get on my case regularly about the blue-black mix. I think it's subtle and classy, like in this pic.
pure class..and sexy with it.
Black and blue, taboo? Antiquated thinking... I'd like her pants to be longer but other than that, she looks wonderful.
I can't be a taboo.
Can you tell us which is black and which is blue? It's hard to tell from the photo. Love the trench.
I personally love navy and black together, and I seem to recall Helmut Lang doing a collection with a lot of it. Silver and beige is another supposed taboo, but I think almost any color combo will work with the proper outfit and judicious mixing.
I like the way the color of her shoes balances her hair color. Sandals with trench is definitely a between-the-seasons contingency.
For me, the shoes kill the outfit. Something about the combination of the pants and the shoes and the gold... they just don't belong in this outfit.
hmmm, i can't really see the blue and black difference, but i think her shoes make the outfit! they totally pull out the gold in her bag! great look!
balck and blue...it was Miss Chanel's favorite mix of colors!
I always wear blue and black. Fashion rules are dumb...it only depends on whether or not the clothes look good...and here, it looks wonderful!
Softly sophisticated, and somehow the gold touches and depth to the whole look. Makes me want to try this look out!
I spent the 80s wearing blue and black because I read in some fashion mag that the combination of blue and black made men think of sex!
I still have an Agnes B Mao jacket with a blue and black print that I must have bought in the late 80s.
I prefer black with navy than say... black with brown.
Very elegant.
The "bruised look" was huge last Autumn. Stefanie Greenfield co-owner/buyer of SCOOP NYC had tons of blacks and blues on the racks of both men's and women's.
Though it may have been big last year, the look has always been timeless.
It looks great!
The heels are too high for such a pant length.
the shoes colour goes with the hair and the skin. I love that.
i give a high score to the outfit and the attitude, also an applause to the photographer.
I don't clearly undestand what comes aout from the pants. Is that a double layer?

I just love the shoes! They give her a spring walk and don't make her look too heavy.
totally love blue and black together. it looks very fresh and new. and i love the pant length! the slightly exposed/covered ankle is very sexy.
I love mixing blue and black. I'm also a fan of the other "taboo" mix of brown and black. If done right it can be so classy. And as mentioned above very Chanel!
Oh... how sweet!
^ someone said the heels are too high?
Did I hear that correctly? There is no such thing. It's like too much style - it's never too much!
No, I like the length of the pants with the shoes. In fact I wonder what kind of pants those are, did she cut them that way or what? Its different to what everyone is doing with the skinny ankle clinging pants that are everywhere
Wow,
Class, grace and style.
Beautiful!
I love this look (her height helps pull off the long trench). I can't really see the blue/black from the photo, but I don't see why it wouldn't work anyway.
Sophisticated, sleek, fresh, modern, elegant. Like someone already said, I want the pants longer. The shoes get away with it, but maybe a nicer shade (darker?!) would've been better - like with more copper in it.
the coat with those shoes looks really works!
I think the issue with the shoes is compounded by the weird layering of cropped, wide-legged trousers over bulky leggings. No shoe exists that completes that look. I also can't distinguish the black from the navy- appears all black to me.
The worst part about mixing blue and black is hoping people know it was on purpose (and did not confuse the blue for black). I am not in love with the shoes with the outfit, but she is stunning.
Love the combo except I wouldn't be able to wear it in Barcelona.
(Dictator)Franco troops use to wear Navy/Black uniforms. Got politically labeled when I wore it.
She looks a kind of sexy but I don't like the trousers and the bag...
blue and black is taboo?
She looks hot!
