Blue Craze

As the winter season moves in, many people seem to look a bit blue. Literally. I promise, in fact, that you would be able to spot at least fifty shades of blue in anywhere at any point during the week. It seems that despite the slightly chillier weather, we shall not be stopped from donning our favorite cool color.

            Many people opt for the blue- and white-striped sailor style look. Although you might have thought that that ship had sailed along with the September weather, it is very much still present today. Blue and white designs abound in other patterns as well. From paisley to polka dots and from plaid to animal print, guys and girls alike are sporting this bright, clean-cut look.

            The blue craze isn’t just hitting the normal shirt department, though. With the nippy weather, many people choose to wear dark blue camis below lacy or knit blouses, or pair white skinny jeans with a slouchy sapphire sweater.

            Once snow season begins, look for navy and indigo shades rather than the pale baby blues of summertime. Also, as exam time/ the stressful holiday season approaches, a bold blue shade worn around the eyes (a blue scarf, blue shirt, or blue eyeliner or eye shadow) helps make you look alive by brightening your face and lessening the appearance of red, tired eyes.

            Blue, in its many forms, is here to stay, too. A year-round closet staple to begin with, every once in a blue moon, a new, fresh shade of blue makes its way to color stardom. This winter, deep crimsons, army greens, and (you guessed it!) all hues of blues are at the height of cold weather fashion. Anything from periwinkle to cobalt or royal blue is definitely winter-appropriate attire for 2012-2013.
