Let the Autumn skies inspire your style!

Let the shades of blue in Autumn Skies inspire your style.

Autumn’s arrival often conjures images of warm, earthy tones – rusts, browns, and deep greens.

But this season, a surprising and refreshing hue is taking centre stage: sky blue.

This light, airy colour, reminiscent of crisp autumn mornings, is popping up in collections from our favourite designers, offering a delightful twist on seasonal dressing.

We are seeing sky blue through to dark indigo blue translated in versatile ways, from sophisticated suiting to casual weekend staples.

Combining with the return of stripes this colour preference breathes new life into classic silhouettes, adding a touch of unexpected elegance.

Designer Inspiration: Sky Blue Takes Flight

Let us delve into the pieces that are capturing our attention:

Runway Scout: For a more playful approach, Runway Scout’s blue striped pants offer a contemporary, fashion-forward option.

Karen Walker: Captivating as it is desirable is Karen Walker’s antiquarian jacket features a delicate porcelain print inspired by Wedgewood blues. This is a delightful way to ‘double denim’.

Saba: Their navy pinstripe set, featuring a perfectly tailored pant, vest, and a charming, cropped jacket, gets a subtle lift with the pinstripe. It is a masterclass softening this traditionally masculine fabric.

Zoe Kratzmann: For a touch of luxurious texture, Zoe Kratzmann’s sky blue velvet jacket and pants are a dream. Imagine the soft sheen catching the light, perfect for office polish and weekend sophistication.

Trenery: A classic blue stripe shirt gets an on-trend update with Trenery’s take. It is the ultimate versatile piece – effortlessly styled with jeans for a relaxed weekend look or layered under a navy blazer for a sharp work ensemble.

Veronica Maine: Comfort meets style with Veronica Maine’s stretch suiting wide-leg pants. They call it ink. This classic blue hue elevates these everyday essentials, making them a chic choice for any occasion.

Cable Melbourne: Add a pop of colour to your business attire with Cable Melbourne’s short-sleeve cashmere cardigan. The soft texture and vibrant sapphire blue will instantly brighten your look.

Let Blue Inspire Your Style: A Colour for Everyone

But what if blue isn’t a regular player in your wardrobe? Do not worry! Here is how to incorporate this shade without a complete overhaul:

• Start Small: Introduce blue through tops or blouses. A sky-blue cashmere knit for example adds a touch of sophistication and polish.
• Layering is Key: A blue shirt or cardigan can be layered under neutral blazers, jackets, or sweaters. This allows you to experiment with the colour without it dominating your look.
• Denim’s Best Friend: Sky blue pairs beautifully with denim. A sky-blue top with your favourite jeans creates a relaxed yet stylish look.
• Mix with Neutrals: Combine blue with classic neutrals like white, cream, grey, and black, yes black. This creates a balanced and sophisticated palette.
• Consider Patterns: If a solid block of sky-blue feels too bold, opt for pieces with subtle blue toned patterns or stripes that incorporate the colour.
• Think about your undertones: If you have cool undertones, sky blue will flatter you naturally. If you have warm undertones, try pairing it with warmer neutrals or other colours that complement your skin tone. Emerald and navy are one such colour match option.

Embrace the Refreshing Hue

This Autumn, dare to embrace the unexpected. Sky blue offers a breath of fresh air, injecting a sense of lightness and sophistication into your wardrobe. Sapphire blue adds a pop of colour, and this fabulous jewel tone look amazing with different fabric textures.
