Bypass black and ignore neutrals. In case you were in any doubt about the colour of the season, it’s cobalt blue.
Think of the shade as your summer alternative to black. It’s chic, classic and works alongside countless colours, from bright neon to stark white.
“Cobalt blue is ‘the’ wardrobe staple colour for summer 2014, and you can make it work for your colouring and your style,” said Fiona Wellins of Colour Me Beautiful.
“This beautiful, bright blue is bold enough to make a statement on its own, or you can wear it as you would your neutral shades, like black, grey or navy.”
Time to get on board with blue this summer. You and your wardrobe may never go back to black.
