What’s not to love about cobalt blue

One of the “trend” colours for Summer 2014 is Cobalt blue. It is generally a fairly universal colour suiting both blonds and brunettes. It teams well with black, navy and grey and can also look very fresh with white as the season progresses.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

Great color at any time of the year. Reminds me of the Delft porcelain I collect. I love hats as well. If you do find out about something similar, please share!!! I will try to find something on my side of the pond.

Beautiful colour. I wore it for my daughter's wedding over 2 years ago. Managed to get a long line sweater in it this Spring from MnS.

I LOVE that colour! It is so summery and optimistic and you do look lovely in your sweater. It makes me think of Greek islands. I had my colours analysed a few years ago and I came out as a Blue Spring. Great hat too!

I love this colour too and was very happy to find a cobalt blue patterned top in a local shop recently. I'm now hunting for a cobalt blue necklace, as the one I had broke and can't be fixed. I'm on a shopping trip to our local city tomorrow (Murcia in Spain) so hoping to be lucky. I may very well be tempted by other cobalt blue clothes, especially having read this post!

I think it's a great colour - and perfect when the sun is shining!
