It means a new decade of fashion styles, new vibrant looks, and new ways to add some fun color to your wardrobe.

Be prepared to see Classic Blue making statements over the next few months! I know adding color to your wardrobe can be intimidating, but different shades truly add life and light to any of your wardrobe pieces. If you’re ready to join in on the fun by adding Classic Blue to your closet, the good news is you don't have to wait. Below are three ways you can wear Classic Blue with other color combinations.

Step into this season with a stunning Classic Blue. The silky blue top with a balloon sleeve detail pairs perfectly with a wide flare blue pant. The blue pants add length to the lower part of your body and create a beautiful fashion piece. As far as the accessories go, adding blue statement earrings create a bold accent.

Who What Wear

Wearing one color from head to toe is very trendy. If it is a lot of color for you, break it up! You can wear a classic blue shirt under a classic blue jacket but add black pants. Or you can wear classic blue pants and top but wear a white jacket. Transitioning to the winter months ahead, this stunning Classic Blue knitted textured sweater meshes perfectly with a midi skirt. This Classic Blue midi skirt fits the model perfectly, but shorter girls should pay attention to the fabric, fit, and length of the skirt. To make this Classic Blue outfit complete, wear a snake print boot to add length and pattern to your outfit.

CLASSIC BLUE + DENIM

Classic Blue is bold and bright. It makes a great workwear color, but if you want to wear it more casually, pair it with light wash denim, ripped denim, boyfriend denim, wide denim, or raw hem. They all work! That’s the beauty of denim—there are endless ways to pair Classic Blue pieces.

CLASSIC BLUE + NAVY

Petite Style Script

Don't be afraid to take a risk! Classic Blue and navy is another perfect example. The pants are a different shade of blue that defines the other pieces. The Classic Blue turtleneck is a knitted material that is both versatile and well-fitting. Add elegant detail by pairing a neutral ivory belt and ballet flats.
