When we think of military inspiration in everyday dressing our minds instantly paint an image of olive and khaki drawn from the armed forces. We often forget navy (blue), a dark shade in the spectrum of blue that, as the name suggests, finds its origins in the naval forces making this humble colour a must-have in every man’s wardrobe. A colour that has been in vogue since British seafarers set out to explore the world and has connotations to the greatest feats in history – from Napolean’s conquests around the world to the current Indian cricket team’s iconic jersey. If you were to believe that the colours we wear influence and reflect our personality, the stereotype for navy with authority, strength, and reliability are indispensable qualities in the modern man.
