Trend of the week: The colour blue

This season’s hottest colour comes out of the blue, says Annmarie O’Connor

INSPIRATION

The winter blues look a lot brighter thanks to the humble hue’s many catwalk champions.

Sultry midnight, peacock, cobalt and navy led the charge from Victoria Victoria Beckham

to Pringle and Paul Smith; not forgetting the palette-cleansing pastels at Prada and

Carven. The question is: ‘How will you wear it?’

STYLE NOTES

For a contemporary take on a time-honoured classic wear navy head-to-toe.

Colour block your favourite navy coat with baby and cobalt blue hues for a fresh take on the trend.

Be a style supernova with a pair of bright cobalt trousers from Lennon Courtney.

Style with a chunky knit and shoulder slung peacoat for menswear-inspired kudos.

Colour shy? Use bright shades as thoughtful accents in a shoe, bag or statement necklace.
