Spring is Here…and so is Cobalt!

Shopping Ideas / April 2, 2014

Spring Cobalt by bowtiesandcaviar featuring an opi nail polish
If you’re like me, a majority of the major pieces in your wardrobe are dark colours that hover around the shades of night.  A great colour to transition  you into a more spring-like wardrobe is Cobalt!

 

First off, Cobalt is a wonderful shade of blue that easily travels through seasons.  It can take you from bright colours into darker ones and vice versa, which makes it a great staple colour to have in your closet.  And yes this works for men’s wardrobes too!

 

A rich shade of blue, it works beautiful with shades of browns such as caramel, taupes and tan.  For those of us who wear a large amount of black, yes, you can wear blue and black together.  In fact, cobalt looks absolutely decadent when paired with black.  A black crop top and a cobalt high waisted bottom paired with metallics make for a very classy look, or a monochromatic cobalt outfit with black shoes and a black belt to break up the look in just the right places.

 

Other colours that pair well with this rich bright blue are bright oranges, mint, yellow and turquoise, but don’t let those be your only choices.  Think of cobalt like a spring time version of black.  Don’t be afraid to pair it with different colours, throw in some prints, have fun with it!

 

For those of you who aren’t ready to make the jump into cobalt clothing, simply buying accessories that bring it into your outfits is a great use of colour.  Cobalt dyed leathers, jewelry, and other accessories, even simply adding it into your makeup arsenal (nailpolishes, eyeshadows, eyeliners).
