How To Wear A Cobalt Blue Skirt

Today’s article is about how to wear a cobalt blue skirt. This powerful color is really a wardrobe staple. It represents strength and calmness, and the best thing about it: It can work on every skin colour!

Just keep in mind that only people who have cool and bright coloring are able to pull off full outfits in cobalt blue (ideally accentuated with jewel tones), while people with light and/or warm coloring should opt to wear it as an accent piece only (it is a mighty shade of blue which can overpower you!).

In terms of colour mixing I would like to show 3 classic combinations for a cobalt blue skirt:

1) With whites: A cobalt blue skirt and a white top make an clean, innocent and feminine look. Depending on the occasion, you can tone it down with casual elements (like marine inspired shoes, bag and jewelry as seen in Look 1) and add more drama with a red lipstick and accessories.

2) With yellow: A cobalt blue skirt and yellow are one of my favourite colourblocking combos! However, the right choice of yellow is critical. For the best look, choose a yellow shade that matches the colouring characteristics of your skin (for example, go for an icy yellow, if you have light and cool skin).

3) With soft blue and pastels: You don’t always need to use great contrast to create outfits that stand out. Softer shades of blue are perfect to balance the brightness of cobalt blue. To complete the look, use pastels and neutral colours, like mint green (this season’s favourite!), beige or taupe.

How To Wear A Denim Overall As Cool As Alexa Chung

How to wear a denim overall as cool as Alexa Chung

When wearing a denim overall, what you want to avoid is to look like a teenager or a farmer. This means: No flannel shirts, ruffles or somehow-too-cute colours. Instead, go for clean, crisp, elegant tops and wear edgy and/or sparkly stuff to create a modern look contrasting the bulky fabric.

What you also want to avoid is to look cheap.Please promise me to never EVER buy an overall with skinny legs. They don’t look cool, they look desperate. Instead, opt for loose cut with a distressed look (preferably).

Accessories are important, too and can help a great deal in creating a grown-up look. Have a bit of fun playing with hats, crossbody bags, strappy heels or ankle booties. They are all great ingredients of a relaxed, yet cool look.

I have styled 3 Ways To Wear A Denim Overall for your inspiration. The only question left for you is (still): Will you be wearing one this summer?

As tea dresses are usually associated with words like “preppy”, “cute” and “prim”, what you need to do in order to style it in a modern way is the create contrast with things that are “edgy”, “boyish”, “bright” and/or “strong”.

Try to mix soft and hard materials, muted and bright colours, ruffles and straight lines. Of course, do keep a balance between the two worlds, like the girl in the picture: She wears her tea dress with feminine ballerina flats and girly jewelry, but combines it with a cool studded denim jacket and a straight-lined crossbody bag.
