Navy tank and cobalt shorts with navy sneakers

A navy Kings of Indigo tank and Komodo trainers frame L.F.Markey's brighter cobalt linen shorts. This blue-on-blue combination is a casual summer outfit with a clear accent at its centre. Try it for a holiday day out or a relaxed afternoon when you want the simplicity of a tank and shorts with more colour than an all-navy pairing.

Why it works

Repeating navy in the tank and trainers gives the cobalt shorts a darker frame above and below.
The plain sleeveless top keeps attention on the shorts' brighter shade and easy shape.

How to wear it

Try a light front tuck to show the shorts' waistband without making the top look rigid.
If you add a bag, choose a plain neutral so the cobalt remains the main colour accent.
