Electric, androgynous, bold - Cobalt blue is the new black for 2014. From runways to retailers, the fashion world is abuzz with this bold hue for this year. In fact, deep down inside I have always had a thing with this color. This color has always been a favorite of mine, and I have a ton of it in my wardrobe, because it’s incredibly versatile, suits all complexions, and can add a “wow factor” to any look. If your looking to get on this trend, and start wearing this lush color right now, I can help. Here are 3 eye catching ways cobalt up your spring wardrobe!

PANTS UP

Hands up or hands down? Hands Down, pants are the easiest way to pull off this trend. First and foremost, pick a style pant in this color that goes well with your body shape, and lifestyle. I recommend picking more of a trouser cut versus jean option. Wearing a cobalt blue trouser makes a great alternative to black, brown, or grey pants.

STYLE TIP: PAIR WITH NEUTRALS: For those that are color shy, or want to take their style up a notch by adding more color, try pairing this with neutral color tops like white, crème, or black like I did. To take this a step further, add a statement necklace in a contrasting color like Orange as I did to create more of a wow factor. Here are links to get this look:

KICK IT UP

Another simple way to kick up your style with this color is through the shoes. Choosing a shoe color as an accent to your outfit can really make a statement. STYLE TIP: HIGHLIGHT: Use this color shoe as a highlight to your overall look. Therefore, it’s important to pair this with the right ensemble or pattern. When in doubt pair this with either solid black ensembles or patterns that contains small amounts of this hue. This way you are using the shoe as a highlight to your overall look, which will create a striking contrast.
