Blue has never been my color.


I never real enjoyed it. Why? I have no idea. And for me, colors are emotional. I wear what makes me feel good. And although blue has a calming effect- I never got that. Or maybe I just never sought out blue items. But here we are, exploring new things in fashion!!
Do you still feel intimidated by bright colors in your wardrobe? I understand. I opt for black/neutrals/red and fall colors. So wearing this color is a little much for me. But we ar gonna figure out how to style it so you feel good about it!

Pantone stated that it was a reflection of:



“our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”

That all sounds very complicated, but an easy way to understand it is to try it out. I would start out simple. Add an accessory, a scarf to layer over your outfit. Keep reading to find out how I pair each item and what you can wear with it so that the whole process is seamless!


1.Dresses and Bodysuits

Let’s start with something easy and uncomplicated: dresses. With spring right around the corner- this is a great item to have. Depending on what silhouette you enjoy wearing, there are tons of options for you.

What to accessorize with:


1. Keep it clean with color. Stick with cream, black and white.
2. Add a jacket to layer it up! A fun leather option or fur is always a must.

2. Trousers and Skirts

Now denim in this color doesn’t really exist- so I tried to find a darker shade to go with. This is a bold color to pull off in trousers and skirts. If you are going to wear classic blue bottoms, try pairing with a simple top.

What to wear with it:


1. Opt for a simple tank top- white, black, cream colors.
2. Add a fun leather jacket to give the outfit some edge.
3. Turtlenecks are great for a fitted/skinny jeans! It balances out the silhouette and color. Stick with black/white or something muted.

3. Tops and Blouses


I found a LOT of great options for tops in this color. Endless amounts of cute shirts and blouses- tank tops and bandeau tops. Try to pair these with slim pants, skinny jeans or a fitted skirt.
What to pair with this:

What to wear with it:

1. Black skinny jeans will look super chic with this color. Add a belt for more edge.
2. Leather skirts are a fun look with an oversized top (ruffles, puff sleeves). This will keep the silhouette simple with a bold top.
3. Put on a blazer with a bold shoulder! A patterned oversized blazer or a slim fit will work just fine.

4. Swim

The one time I wore this color was in a swimsuit, and I LOVED IT! Not only did I feel super sexy, but it also brought out my tan and tattoos. And that is always a bonus for me (who never wears blue).
So if you want to show off a new tan and some pretty tattoos- this is your go-to color for your summer getaway.
