Get the Blues: 7 Ways to Wear Cobalt

hotspot
By: Michelle Horton
There are a lot of big color trends this year - Tangerine Tango orange (the official color of the year), mint green, bright neons, and soft pastels. I'm also seeing a lot of cobalt popping up in every single store and in every department. That could be because Pantone named Olympian Blue one of the hot colors for Fall 2012, yet stores are sneaking it in now for Spring and Summer. Stay ahead of the trend with one of these 10 bright blue picks.

1. OPI Blew My Mind
One of the easiest ways to jump on the blue trend is with a simple nail polish application. It adds a pop of bright color in an unexpected shade.

2. Women's Cap-Toe Canvas Ballet Flats
These trendy Old Navy shoes with just a toe touch of blue are selling for $22.94 online. I know my store has a few straggler sizes on clearance, so check your local Old Navy first.

3. Women's Jersey Maxi Skirt
Here's a classic spring style in a hot spring color -- and it's affordable, too.

4. Women's Color-Blocked Button-Tab Top
If you're a fan of the color-block trend spilling over from fall, this vibrant cobalt and light blue blue top is perfect.

5. Pintucked Shirt Dress
This classic, comfy style get a breath of fresh air in bright blue. This color looks great on everyone.

6. Sutton Cowl Tee
This flowy tee is an easy, flattering way to introduce cobalt into your wardrobe. It can pair with jeans or a skirt.

7. Marled Cable-Knit Cardigan
Here's a warm layer that will match just about anything. I love how it looks with other spring brights, like yellow.
