We have fallen in love with the colour blue for this Spring / Summer. Not just any blue - but the dreamiest, soft, pale sky blue. It not only gives us ALL the fashion kudos as it is THE colour of the moment; but it makes an impact on our emotions and behaviour too.
The Psychology of Blue: Why We Love It
According to colour psychology experts, blue is linked to tranquility, trust, and creativity. Angela Wright, a pioneer in colour theory, highlights that wearing blue has a calming effect on the nervous system - How amazing is that? Light blues, in particular, evoke feelings of openness and clarity, making them ideal for creating a relaxed look.
So, if you're looking to refresh your wardrobe while embracing a sense of calm, here are some must-have pieces in pale blue hues:
- The Hoktown Polar Blue Zip Fleece by American Vintage – Our cosy baby blue fleece will totally fit the bill. It's the ultimate comfort piece for laid-back days, embodying relaxation and effortless cool.
- The Elements Cardigan by Stella Nova – Made from the softest wool, this cardigan has details of campfires, clouds, and the earth - you can't get more natural and chilled out than that.
- The Kayla Shirt by Citizens of Humanity – A crisp, pale blue cotton shirt that looks super stylish when worn with denim. Think chilled and sophisticated.
