We’ve pretty much kissed goodbye to summer but that didn’t mean sunny sky blue was off the agenda at Fashion Week. Alongside street-style stalwart navy (an inky sweater is practically as obligatory in fashion as it is in the er, Navy), there was cobalt, purpley forget-me-not, and powdery blues the colour of Dot Cotton’s eyeshadow.
Flashy trainers were a particularly big deal this London Fashion Week (God love the women who originally broke the heels-at-shows rule) and there couldn’t be a better way to wear a major colour like cobalt blue than sticking it on your feet. You can keep your outfit serious on top, with a party on the bottom, so to speak.
And what a pleasing sight a pastel sweater or jacket is worn with relaxed grey separates or light denim files under what to wear with wide-leg trousers. Speaking of pale blue, it’s a colour that’s made repeat appearances at the shows so far, most recently at yesterday’s Fendi show, where the palette looked set for an ‘it’s a boy!’ baby-shower, so there’s even more reason to get ahead and wear it now.
Whadaya know, we’ve found a load that you can shop already…
