Cobalt blue is a favourite with some of my clients and friends, who are delighted to see more of it this year. It’s a strong blue that has been in short supply for years. If you like it, nab it when you see it. It could disappear before we’re ready to see it go.
If you like to wear cobalt in the Spring here’s some outfit inspiration.
1. Black and White
One of the easiest ways to wear cobalt is to combine it with black and white. Or choose black OR white. Here’s a version with black. Pair a cobalt top with a black support act and you’re done. Add a black or white bag to this look, and a topper if you need it. Or wear cobalt as a bottom with a black or white top. Add black or white shoes and a bag to match.
Here are more examples:
2. Green and Light Blue
Cobalt looks lovely with greens and light blue. Here, an avocado blouse is tied at the waist over a cobalt midi skirt. The look is completed with light blue sandals and a bag to match. Emerald, lime, or olive green can work instead of avocado if that’s more to your taste.
3. Cinnamon
Cobalt looks fresh with an earthy cinnamon or toffee. Here a column of cobalt is created with cobalt pants, and a patterned cobalt blouse. A cinnamon sleeveless trench coat tops the lot, allowing more cobalt to come through by exposing the sleeves of the blouse. A cinnamon bag matches the trench coat. White sneakers add a Sporty Luxe touch. Add brown shoes if that’s more your thing.
4. Pattern Mixed
The outfit speaks for itself. A cobalt patterned blouse and skirt are worn together to create a two-piece dress. They are the same pattern. A scarf in a sister pattern is added to the look. A colour-blocked bag that matches the palette completes the outfit, along with ivory slides that pick up the ivory in the pattern. Punchy!
