When I spotted this navy blue lace dress (on sale!), I knew I had to give it a try. I’m such a sucker for lace, but I also love a fit and flare-style dress. Plus, I loved the little black accents in the dress. The black bands are extra flattering because of how they accent the waist and add definition to the flare at the bottom. If you’re looking to add a new dress to your summer and fall wardrobe, I think you should think about a navy blue lace dress and here’s why.

3 Reasons To Try a Navy Blue Lace Dress

1. Navy Blue is a Universally Flattering Color

Navy is one of those colors that looks good on everyone. I would argue there aren’t many colors that look good on everyone, but navy is one of them.

2. Navy Blue Transitions Perfectly from Summer to Fall

Navy blue screams summer – the whole nautical thing – but it also works so well in fall (and winter for that matter). You can wear any of the navy blue dresses I showed below on their own, or you can add a light sweater or jacket over the top. Depending on the cut of the dress, you might want to wear a longer jacket. A blazer or duster might look amazing too. Just try layers and see what works best. You could wear any of these navy blue lace dresses with strappy sandals in summer and little high heel booties in the fall. You just can’t go wrong with a navy blue lace dress. You’ll be able to wear it almost year-round. Plus, it’s not so obvious that people will remember the last time you wore it.

3. Lace and Navy are Timeless

There are certain colors and materials that are timeless and a navy blue lace dress totally fits the bill. Timeless, elegant, and so versatile.
