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?

The colour of my bridesmaids dresses! I first bought the dress to wear to someone else's wedding and loved it so much sent my bridesmaids off to see if they liked it and bought another 3! I think they are going to look fab!
Beautiful. When is your wedding?
November - I can't wait. Nude accessories (thin belt and nude shoes) and then some sparkly earrings (slightly different for each of them, one with a pearl drop). We are also by the water so hoping to reflect the beach in a way.
Also think I am going to get jeans in cobalt too... every time I see them on someone I just love them!
Loving your fashion articles too Jasmine!!
Hmm im a bit reserved about this colour. It came in in a big way in 2006 but I think it can look really tacky if not done correctly. Many of the pictures in the gallery do a great job but it when it starts filtering down to the supre's etc it starts to get a bit meh. (nothing wrong with supre btw!)
