Since ancient times, blue has been associated with noble origins, symbolizes loyalty, affection, security and trust, and promotes mental and physical relaxation. Like any other color, it has many shades: turquoise, cornflower blue, azure, heavenly, with an admixture of lavender and almost gray.

This season, fashion houses offer women from all over the world to feel like a person of "blue blood" and try on their wonderful creations. Now is the time to see what they have prepared for us.

Pure color and some texture

We could see all sorts of shades of blue in the collections of almost all designers - some used lightweight fabrics, pastel colors, others decorated the defile with bright and even neon shades.

In addition to simple laconic models, outfits created from fabrics of complex textures saw the light.

Turquoise blouses, gray-blue dresses and azure two-piece suits were designed to charge us with spring mood and enter the new season with ease. In addition to simple laconic models, outfits created from fabrics of complex textures saw the light. Lace, prints, pleats, leather, high-tech materials and even fur made the looks original and more sophisticated.

Blue, brown, black and white were chosen as the main companion colors for blue - and this is no coincidence, because it is precisely such combinations that we can meet in wildlife. Also, designers are advised to combine pure blue color and print (and the shade itself can be part of the picture).

Background or protagonist

In some models, shades of blue served as the backdrop for classic stripes, a la pajamas and small peas. In others, they set off tropical plants, intricate buds and geometric abstractions. And thirdly, they were at all the basis of the entire print and occupied most of the outfit, be it a photo of the sky with white clouds or futuristic improvisations. In the case of prints, color combinations become a little more complicated, here blue quietly coexists with yellow (orange) and pink and purple shades.

From the catwalk to life

Blue shades go well with almost all colors, the main thing is to choose them correctly in tone, for example, a fuchsia blouse will fit a dark turquoise skirt, and a white top and a yellow jacket will suit sky blue chinos.

Do not forget about your skin color: darker is suitable for lighter skin and vice versa.

Also, do not forget about the occasion for which you are putting together an outfit. This will determine the companion colors of blue, and the choice of its shades. If you intend to wear blue to work, you should choose soft light shades and combine them with white, black and dark blue - this way the image as a whole will look more conservative and will not cause complaints from colleagues. And if you go on vacation or just for a walk, then choose rich blue options and mix them with warm colors, such as light green, yellow and pale pink.

The same goes for accessories, especially jewelry. Light shades will perfectly complement silver and gold, and darker shades will complement deep saturated colors. This may not apply to shoes and the choice of a bag - here you have almost complete freedom of action.

Do not forget about your skin color: darker is suitable for lighter skin and vice versa. Of course, exceptions may look good, but this is already the merit of a perfectly matched outfit and additions to it.
