Trend Report SS2011: Color Me Blue

Let’s hope blue looks good on you, ’cause it’s one of the main colors this season. It comes in several variations like kobalt, turquoise, air force blue, azure, majorelle and deep see blue.

The best examples of what a good blue outfit should look like were found at Celine, Derek Lam, Calvin Klein and Pucci. And the coolest streetstyle pics were colored blue as well.

Mix multiple blue tones together in one look or mix it with white and denim. Find yourself some cool, gold jewelry and your done. If you find the right kind of blue you can even use it on one of your colorblocking days…

Here’s some inspiration. Have fun with it!

 

 

Streetfashion: in the navy

Navy-stripes are back in fashion and in the streets. Especially the French marine-shirt, a classic that goes back to the heydays of Coco Chanel and later Brigitte Bardot. This summer it mixes well with your jeans, khakis and boyfriend-jacket. Every time you need to add a casual, fresh touch to your outfit.

Catwalktrends SS2010: in the navy

Not only is navy blue a big hit this spring, the whole navy theme is extremely popular at the moment. The ‘basic’-looking striped top is popping up everywhere. Of course blue and white horizontal stripes suit the navy theme the best, but red, black and gray also look good with white.

The striped tops come in multiple variations. You have the short sleeves, long sleeves, wide stripes, small stripes, round and straight collars and there are versions with buttons and bows on the shoulders.

Then there’s also this navy jacket. It comes with stripes or just in one collor, it has eye-catching buttons and you often see anchor detail on it. Clements Ribeiro showed some nice examples of that jacket, loosely worn on top of a striped t-shirt.

Brands like Oscar de la Renta, Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste and Antonio Marras all had some navy accents in their collections for the summer of 2010. Also, large fashion retailers like H&M and ZARA are promoting the navy look big time. A smart move, that’s for sure.

Cause, while the striped top has a very basic look, it fits well with shorts, skirts and wide pants. And although it might not look that special at first, just because it’s so basic-looking almost any woman can look great in it. They just need to put on a pair of sunglasses, a nice scarf or a hat, take their big beach bag and they can join the navy in style!
