Cobalt Blue: Cool As A Cucumber

It’s bold. It’s vibrant. It’s eye-popping. It’s cool. It plays nicely with camels, browns, and black.

Style recommendations: the boldness of this blue can be scary and overpowering if not done correctly, so our recommendation is to start small and balance the “pop” with a neutral like camel or black. For men, you’ll see this color in your ties, pocket squares and socks. For contrast, wear it with a lighter color – for trendiness, opt for this color in lace or leather – for sophistication, try cobalt blue with a demure, flowy blouse

Our choices: Rachel Roy owl cocktail ring {$39psst we scooped it awhile ago} ? Lo & Sons OG travel bag in royal blue of course ($295 but contact me for a HUGE discount code} ? J.Crew cashmere featherweight short-sleeve cardigan {$178 but remember J.Crew cashmere is the same as Loro Piana cashmere!} ? Oasis dip hem dress {$105} ? Jessica Simpson Calie pumps {$59} ? Native Union pop phone {$29…ok I scooped this one in blue as well}

What’s your one cobalt blue piece to add to your wardrobe mix this season? Remember that it’s not always a piece of clothing but an item that you’ll get lots of use (and compliments).
