The buzz of the new year has fizzled out, resolutions are being abandoned and the dark winter evenings show no sign of surrender, yes, that’s right, Blue Monday - the date crowned the most depressing day of the year - is here again. The good news? When it comes to fashion, being blue is rather brilliant, especially if you know how to harness the power of the shade to boost your mood and even make you look younger- provided you can be prised away from your comfort blanket of navy.
It may be a classic replacement to avoid the ageing effects of black, but too much navy can be clear sign of wardrobe fatigue in midlife. Read on for our guide on the blue hues to opt for in 2025, giving Blue Monday a whole new meaning…. Sky’s the limit.
Think Cinderella’s gown at the ball but with a grown up elegance. Sky blue is serene but stylish- and is set to become a mainstay by Spring 2025 after featuring in a number of upcoming collections from designers including Bally and Acne Studios.
