Feeling the Blues

This summer is all about the cool blue palette. Jeans are an obvious way to play to the trend, but it’s more chic to give it a fun twist by wearing it in more unexpected ways. Here are some fun ways to embrace the shade:

Chambray Shirtdress

Chambray is denim’s lightweight cousin, it’s perfect for the heat of warming weather. For summer, try a light blue chambray for a button front shirtdress. It’s incredibly versatile; take it to BBQs with flip-flops or bridal showers with wedges.

Boyfriend Button Up

Boyfriend button ups have become summer’s new beach cover up. In a striped classic blue shirting fabric, it even complements the waters crashing blue waves. Pair it with crisp white twill shorts to go straight out after a day on the sand.

Shrunken Blazer

Bring deep royal blue into summer with a sleek shrunken blazer. It upgrades a simple T and cuffed trousers into a look. Roll the sleeves to show off layered bracelets and statement watches. Top it off with a set of printed flats and a pearl necklace to bring it up another notch.

Pencil Skirt

Pencil skirts are perennially chic. In a saturated blue twill, the staple gets brought even more into right now. Pair it with a printed blouse, cardigan, and minimalist heels to bring the look to the office.

Pleated Midi Skirt

Midis are this summer’s “it” skirt. To make the breezy piece even more summer-ready, try it in a cool blue linen. Pleats give added texture and volume without added weight, and allows for hidden pockets (always a win). A navy shade can also be paired with a cotton long sleeve and scarf to bring it into fall.
