There are a lot of popular colors making an appearance this season but none are quite so bold or vibrant as Cobalt Blue. The vibrancy of cobalt blue is undeniably captivating, but that same intensity is the main reason most people shy away from wearing it. It’s a flattering shade on every skin tone and hair colour...
So ... What is Cobalt?
Cobalt blue (sometimes referred to as Mediterranean blue) is a jewel coloured blue hue. It is named after the chemical element of the same name which was predominantly used as a pigment since ancient times.

How to Wear it:
Wear your Cobalt with black or navy for a nice pop of color or for the more daring, mix it up with other bright colours like yellows and oranges or go with neutrals. If you’re not convinced to wear Cobalt as a dress or even a shirt; try mixing in a pair of Cobalt pumps, an accessory or a handbag, and before you know it: You'll be as Crazy for Cobalt as I am.

However, the Cobalt fashion trend is not just limited to women – many designers have created pieces so that the guys too can get in on the act too.
The images below are a great example of how Men can integrate Cobalt into their wardrobes. If you are in a corporate environment you are usually wearing dark blue, grey or black; why not add a splash of colour by wearing a cobalt coloured coat or blazer?
