This may be the "new" way, but
traditionally black + navy = wrong wrong WRONG.
Of course, it also used to be unacceptable to have your underwear hanging out, but everywhere I go lately there are thongs hanging out of low rise pants, and don't even get me started on the visible bra strap thing (Carrie Bradshaw should be ashamed!). My grandmother would be horrified.
Let's put it this way ... if you wear black shoes with the navy clothes, some people will think it's ok but some will also think "Tacky!" However, if you wore navy shoes with the navy clothes, NO ONE will think you messed up.
