Spinning off the sweater thread, I just scored these amazing Vince Sweaters. They are so soft and crazy flattering on my "need to lose 30lbs of baby weight from 2 years ago" body I WANT WANT to keep them. I get the whole dark bottom, light top outfit, but don't quite know what to pair these dark navy tops with?!!

Got this one, but in Ink Blue (like really dark navy) for $119

And this one

And this T-shirt (blue with black stripe)

Any ideas for bottoms? I've tried dark blue denim, which is ok... but maybe need to accessorize differently to keep it from being too dark....

Only the last link worked for me. I'd wear those with dark jeans, or black or gray pants. Burgundy might work, you'd have to try it out to see.

I think that navy tops pair well with charcoal pants or leggings.

I fixed the links above, let me know if they are still not working.

Thanks! I do have caramel leggings (Hue, actually) so will try those on tonight! Might have to pick up some grey to try that out as well.

I found a pice of the tee styled with white pants, which I thought looked meh and very summer....

I can't believe that you just posted this question!

I have been having the same fashion dilemma with a bunch of dark blue/navy tunics and dresses that I have bought recently. For the fall, I am going to try grey or black.....but I am not sure. I would dread light coloured bottoms because that is where I am lumpiest and I don't really want to attract attention there.

Would navy leggings be too matchy? I might have to try camel too....

I like the tops, especially the first Vince one! Navy is a neutral and goes with everything! Grey, black and white are great obvious choices, but I also love navy/ink blue with red, orange, caramel, chocolate brown, emerald green, and citron. Also burgundy, rust orange, mustard, and olive green for fall. Do you have any colored skinny jeans in those colors? Or black and white patterned jeans (I have floral and polka dot ones that would go well with them). Or pencil skirts. I think the Vince Camuto midi tube skirts (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-midi-tube-skirt-regular-petite/3275630?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Black+Animal+Print&resultback=159&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_C) would go great with navy tops--like the black and white stripe or the grey and black floral lace patterns.

Yes, go for colors! I love lime or kelly green and bright pink skinny pants with a navy top (very preppy). Mustard yellow or olive or rust for fall. Brown leather boots and belt
