With Pantone naming Classic Blue as the colour of 2020, here's how men and women should sport it
Anushka Sharma
Denim diva
- You can't talk about blue and exclude denim. Besides, a denim jacket in blue is guaranteed to go along with any and everything. Pick a comfy one that's just a tad oversized (for women) like Anushka Sharma did.
- Avoid pairing this with other variants of blue as that will take away from the look. Opt for a bright-coloured top and light-coloured jeans or shorts.
- Complete the vibe with
- a pair of black combat boots.
- A tousled mess hairstyle works best and matches the look.
Layered look
- Layered dresses are popular at the moment, and this shade blends beautifully with the silhoutte; opt for one with overlapping lace, and wear a light-coloured inner for contrast, like Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has.
- Cotton is ideal in this weather. Avoid satin, shimmery material, or even glitter or a sequinned look. This works as a formal outfit or a casual option.
- Don't add too many colours — pick matching shoes or ones in a dark shade. Avoid bright accessories.
- Minimal make-up and a free-flowing hairstyle are ideal, though you can also go for a half bun for a hippie touch or a French plait for an evening out.
Suit up
- Ditch the shiny black and dark blue and pick a sleek blue suit. It's ideal for shaadis or a first date. Drop the tie.
- Wear a shirt that's in a lighter shade of blue or any neutral option. No prints or bright pinks and reds.
- Dark formal shoes or loafers work, and Rajasthani juttis are good for the baraatis.
- Use gel or clay to keep your hair tidy.
Keep it cool
- Wear a T-shirt in this shade — experiment with small symmetric prints or even cute designs. Stripes and checks work too, and will look cool if they comprise different hues of blue.
- Pair this with jeans — any shade of blue works as long
- as it's not blingy or has embellishments.
- Sneakers or loafers should be your go-to. A snazzy pair of ankle-length boots could look badass too.
- Don't forget a dark-coloured cap or shades. Don't shave — facial hair can work wonders.
Glamourously classy
- The colour looks great with red, and makes for a natural choice to a red carpet event. So, why not wear it for your annual office party or BFF's cocktail do? A long, sequinned number will look perfect if you have the hourglass body.
- Avoid a plain, short dress, as it doesn't blend with the royal shade. Belts, ruffles and power sleeves work best, though not all at once.
- Rayon or a silk-mix are top contenders, but avoid too stiff a fabric.
- Tie your hair up in a bun — sleek or messy. Smoky eyes, dark lips and a pair of heels will rev up the look.
