Mastering glamour in Classic Blue

The selection of colour by Pantone gives a strategic direction for trends every year, and this time we’re braving the blues. While you’ve already said hello to the newly christened Pantone colour of the year 2020- Classic Blue, this hue of the decade is already having a ripple effect in the world of glitz and glam. Inspired by the vivid vision of a dusky sky and chosen to instil calmness, blue is ready to polarize all the stark neons and the bewitching jewel tones to rule the upcoming seasons. Blue is the new cool- from little blue dresses to the ubiquitous blue jeans, eccentric blue eye makeup to blue highlighted tresses. Jump onto the bandwagon to turn your style into a classic dream, because having ‘blues’ never looked so hot! 

Blues for dusk

With classic-chic being the talk of the season, couturiers are making blue dressier than ever. From off-duty cool to red-carpet glamour- trust your blues for gram-worthy moments when you’re partying. Bling is the buzz word of the year- and blue is no exception. Dipped in shimmer or ornate with ruffles, evoke drama in blue-washed looks at the next cocktail night that you’ve RSVPed to. 

‘I do’ Blues

Though ‘something blue’ makes for an important token of a white wedding, a blue bridal lehenga could be a revolutionary move. Off-beat wedding destinations give you the perfect reason to experiment with such choices. Tap into your bohemian soul for beachside nuptials or place your bids on the classic hue for pre and post-wedding festivities and appearances. Whether it’s a benarasi saree or a fusion ensemble, blue-hued masterpieces will make you stand out in the sea of pastels. 

Everyday Blues 

Get ready to see blue shirts becoming more gender-neutral and blue dresses replace the classic LBD while jeans continue to fit-in for every day in your diary. Whether you wish to head out for a stroll in the city wearing top-to-toe blue as fancied by the British royals or ward off Monday blues and walk in like you mean business, your new closet essentials sure need a splash of this hero hue!

Blues to Play

Blue has been the identity of Indian sports-so classic blue is sure to get more playful this year. From functional separates to athleisure overalls, glorify its sporty mood to win at the trends. While you’re making the classic colour outdoorsy, it’s also right to nudge towards nautical style to get old-world-chic. Think standard denim pieces co-ordinated with white separates, horizontal stripes in blue, red and white for a preppy cruise vacation #OOTD.

Thinking of a daring revamp? Colour your locks with blue highlights! Your electric blue streaks will add up a tonne of new admirers on your Instagram. Besides this rebellious interpretation, a classic blue mani is actually low-key but also hype-worthy. You can also trade your black kohl and mascara for eccentric bird eye wing to take it up a notch. These off-beat beauty details are so hot, all you’ll get is happy blues!
