TikTokers Are Debating Whether Black & Navy Matches & Honestly Prepare To Be Shook

Which side are you on?!

Managing Editor, Canada

If you've ever thrown on an outfit and asked yourself whether black and navy blue clothing matches, you're apparently not the only one.

Right now TikTokers are having a giant debate on the matter, and the responses may make you rethink everything.

It sounds like most people have an instinctive answer to the age-old question — and it's no.

However, well-dressed social media users are showing off their favourite blue-and-black outfits, and they're throwing the traditional colour rule out the window.

Back in December, TikToker @ripberniemadoff posted a clip of herself appearing to cry, with text over the video that reads, "Just saw someone wearing navy blue and black."

The clip had over 600,000 likes, and many people commented to agree with the message. One person even described the combo as "like a bruise."

In another clip, user @stylebysheed described a clothing combination of navy and black as a "fashion crime."

He told his TikTok followers, "Don't do this please. There's always a better option."

Don’t do this please 🤮 there’s always a better option #styletips #tiktokfashion #mensfashion #whattowear #fyp

He's not the only one with this opinion, as there are multiple videos on TikTok with a similar sentiment.

Another posted, "[I don't care] what you all say, wearing black and navy together is a crime."

Several TikTokers responded by saying things like "YEEES," and "Yes. It is."

but imma do it anyway #fyp #CinderellaMovie #foryou

However, before you make up your mind, here's a look at the other side of the argument.

Sharing a clip of a glam cami-and-skirt combo, TikToker @c00lette described the combination of colours as "ULTIMATE" and said her mind could not be swayed.

The text over the video reads, "Me @ my mom when she tells me black and navy don't match."

Over on Twitter, user @modsiwW shared his favourite black-and-navy looks, and they actually look pretty great.

His followers agreed, writing responses like, "If navy blue & black don't go together then why does black go so well with jeans?"

Whatever your opinion on the controversial topic, the main thing is that you continue to wear whatever makes you feel confident and happy — black and navy included!
