Style your way through Blue Monday
How Blue Clothes and Accessories Can Lift Your Mood and Elevate Your Style"
It makes me chuckle when people say ‘I can wear blue’ or ‘I can’t wear blue’ (or any other colour…).
Other than yellow which is notoriously tricky, everyone has at least one shade of blue, green, red and so on. As it’s Blue Monday.. lets turn that frown upside down and look at this fabulous hue, Blue.
Embrace Different Shades of Blue for a Fresh Start:
Denium is an easy go to. from light washed out blue to deep inky blues. Take a look at the shade you go for and consider trying other shades.
If you often wear black, swap it out for Navy. If you have lightness in your colours look for Light Navy or French navy. If you have darker eyes and hair, look for Deep navy or black blue.
There is such a thing as a warm blue and a cool blue, a light blue and a dark blue and a soft blue or a bright blue. Take a look at my recomendations above based on your dominant colour type. See if it blends into your wardrobe seamlesly.
Layer Blue to Add Depth and Dimension
Use different shades on different layers. If you are bloated or feel concious of an area like the bottom, tummy on chest use a darker blue on that area. Add lighter shades of blue on areas you like. For example,
Pear shapes: Darke blue jeans, white tshirt light blue blazer.
Apple: Light blue wide leg trousers, Navy blouse and Navy waterfall jacket/blazer.
Add those finish touch layers like saphires or lapis in your jewlery or a blue patterned scarf and navy eyeline.

Accessorize with Blue for Subtle Elegance
There are many ways of adding blue to your look.
You may want to try blue mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow.
Add those all important finishing touches like glasses, jewlery, belts, scarf and bags. If your whole outfit for just a tshirt and jeans think about adding blue accessories to lift and finish your look.
Transition From Winter to Spring
Blue is a fantastic colour to go from winter to sping. It can be used as a nutral when you look at Navy, Saphire, frend Navy. Or it can be used as a pop or fashion colour, think Aqua, Cobalt blue. You could look at darker shades for winter and lighter shades for spring.
