The Sneakers You
Don't Want to Go Without
Common Projects, $410
Minimalist and monochromatic, the navy low-top sneaker is the cold weather equivalent of summer's classic all-white canvas sneaker. The inky blue styles, crafted from smooth leather, suede and mesh knits make for a cool, sleek look that adds a relaxed vibe to your dress pants or suits. And they look just as good when worn with some jeans or a pair of army green chinos.

FYI
When navy blue (taken from the standard shade of sailors' uniforms) first came into use in the early 19th century, it was called marine blue, but the name was soon changed to navy blue.
