In today’s fashion news, we’re suggesting you to try or buy something that may actually already be in your wardrobe.

Cobalt blue.

Yep! It’s a colour that suits. Well. It suits just about everybody; from the yellow skinned, four fingered Marge Simpson to Sonic the Hedgehog – and it’s not everyday that a spiky animal looks fashionable.

There is something really refreshing about a fashion trend that actually looks good on most of the population. It feels like when you spend a weekend at the shops these days, you get bombarded with the most unflattering shades and cuts that designers could come up with.

But cobalt blue can be a shared BFF for us all.

Check out the gallery below for 20 ways to wear this trend at the office, out to dinner, running errands… and on the red carpet.

A blue pair of pants for the brave. A statement necklace. A blue blazer for 9 to 5. The list goes on.

My favourite? A pair of blue pants I’ve had sitting in my cupboard since forever. Now I have an excuse to wear them.

The only rule? Keep the shade a rich, bold blue. We’re feeling confident about this one.

What is the easiest fashion trend to try at the moment? Are you wearing cobalt blue this season?
