Feeling Blue

Feeling blue? I hope not the mood and more the mode as bright clear blues like royal, cobalt, and ultramarine are on trend this year and easier to find in stores than in many years. If you're feeling cool blue for spring is hot hot hot, read on for my picks of chic blue options for this season and beyond.

The Blue Trend for 2024

The color of the sky, the sea, and the swimming pool is a perfect choice for your vacation essentials. This season you will find swimsuits, coverups, totes, and more in gorgeous bold shades of blue. Blue with white will be a hot look, as well as using blue as a pop of color with sandals, sunglasses, or your bag.

Break out of the basic black bubble with shades of bold blue. Looking fresh with white, black, and neutrals like cream, olive, and even navy, blue is a great way to add an updated modern feel to your existing casual wardrobe.

Spring weddings, early summer graduations, and days in the office are made brighter with blues that replicate the summer sky. Jazz up your not-so-little black (or navy, or gray, or taupe) dress with blue shoes or a blue bag. This is a color that feels celebratory and fresh.
