Black and white dressing can be surprisingly challenging: too much of the same material and texture, and it becomes overly coordinated and somewhat outdated. David and Victoria Beckham, who have explored a range of matching couple styles over the years, championed all-navy blue on their latest evening out.
The pair ventured out for dinner at Salam in New York, walking hand-in-hand and elegantly clad in navy. Victoria, naturally, wore her own creations and adhered to her polished, luxurious aesthetic: a strongly shouldered, oversized blazer paired with a white T-shirt, and matching wide-leg suit trousers cinched by a brown belt. She accessorized with her signature oversized aviator-style sunglasses and sported her now-blonde streaked hair long and loose. David, on the other hand, leaned into his own workwear-influenced vibe: he donned a collared dark blue jacket with a navy shirt and white tee, matching chino-style trousers (with a silver chain dangling from a pocket), and white sneakers, complemented with red-lensed square sunglasses.
The Beckhams avoided appearing too similar by maintaining their individual styles—V.B in a sweeping silhouette with a subtly sophisticated demeanor, David more tailored and casual, with a touch of the British gent—although from their collection of iconic couple looks, we know they’re not entirely opposed to it.
They’ve been maximizing their time in New York, celebrating and promoting the Victoria Beckham Gap collaboration. Out for another date night at one of the designer’s favorite eateries, COQODAQ, Victoria accentuated her all-black attire with a form-fitting beaded pencil skirt and black croc Hermès Mini Kelly (one of many in her collection), and David chose a chocolate brown Prada coat with the collar popped. As expected, they shielded their faces with their signature eyewear: Victoria in XXL Rick Owens aviators and David in his sepia-toned pair. Statement eyewear is where they both tend to find common ground.
Date night dressing can be tricky to master, and as a well-known couple, there are numerous options. You could adhere to completely contrasting styles like Justin and Hailey Bieber, show a united front wearing The Row like Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, or carve your own intersecting fashion paths like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. But as David and Victoria Beckham demonstrate, identifying that one harmonizing detail is more than sufficient.
