Feeling Blue? Good.
Some colours shout for attention. Navy blue simply turns up looking better dressed than everyone else.
It is smart without being stuffy, timeless without looking like you have raided your grandad’s wardrobe, and forgiving enough to survive the occasional pint-related mishap. From classic outerwear to proper heritage polos and exclusive graphic tees, navy is the dependable backbone of a well-dressed wardrobe.
Here are four ways to embrace the blues without writing a miserable song about it.
The Lambretta Classic Harrington Jacket
Few jackets have earned their place in British style quite like the Harrington, and this navy blue Lambretta version has all the right credentials.
The clean, regular-fit silhouette is finished with a traditional band collar, full zip fastening and tartan lining. Its shower-resistant outer also offers some defence against the sort of British drizzle that appears moments after you confidently leave the umbrella at home.
Wear it over a polo with dark denim and desert boots for the classic approach. Alternatively, throw it over a T-shirt when the evening turns chilly and you are pretending you absolutely knew it would.
The Gabicci Vintage Darron Polo
The Gabicci Vintage Darron is what happens when a polo shirt decides to make a bit more effort.
Finished in versatile navy blue, it features a textured knit, subtle tipping, a smart three-button placket and Gabicci’s signature chest badge. Ribbed detailing at the collar, cuffs and hem helps maintain its sharp shape, while the lightweight viscose blend keeps it comfortable enough for day-to-night wear.
Pair it with tailored trousers and loafers when the occasion requires polish. Dark denim and the Lambretta Harrington will do nicely when it does not.
Either way, it is smart enough for drinks and relaxed enough for the journey home when the top button has mysteriously undone itself.
The Exclusive Quadrophenia Cast T-Shirt
Sometimes you want subtle heritage styling. Sometimes you want the cast of Quadrophenia across your chest.
Our exclusive navy blue Icon Cast T-Shirt features a reworking of the legendary cast image by Brighton-based artist Paul Collicutt. Made from soft 100% cotton with a classic crew neck and regular fit, it brings together Brighton, film history and unmistakable mod attitude in one very wearable tee.
It looks the part with jeans, boots and a parka, but works just as well beneath a Harrington. It is also included in our £20 each or two for £30 T-shirt offer, which is handy when one iconic design is clearly not enough.
The Gabicci Vintage Houghton Rain Mac
The Houghton Rain Mac is for those occasions when the forecast says “light shower” and the sky appears to have other plans.
Its streamlined navy silhouette keeps things clean and understated, with full front fastening, functional pockets and a signature Gabicci chest badge. Lightweight and easy to layer, it is made for city streets, coastal walks and standing outside a pub while everyone debates whether the rain is “actually that bad”.
Wear it over a knitted polo and tailored trousers for a sharper finish, or keep things casual with denim and trainers. Practical outerwear does not need to make you look as though you are about to walk the dog.
Navy Never Lets You Down
Trends come and go, but navy blue remains firmly planted at the front of the wardrobe.
It works across seasons, pairs easily with almost anything and carries just enough heritage appeal without becoming fancy dress. Layer the Harrington over the Cast T-Shirt, sharpen things up with the Darron Polo, or keep the weather in its place with the Houghton Rain Mac.
Feeling blue has never looked so good.
