It’s a blue end to the Summer as cobalt coloring takes centre stage for this season’s fashion finale. Fresh, vibrant and totally on trend, lapis inspired hues make for a seamless transition in to the cooler weather of Fall, while still paying tribute to the bright statement-making tones of the fading warmth. Universally flattering and equally elegant as it is playful, this shade of blue is delicious in both small doses or head to toe, and works beautifully with a range of other colors, from pink, red and purple, to taupe, black, and brown. However you work it in to your wardrobe over the next few months, one thing is clear, the fashion blues are nothing but high style happiness.
