If you’ve been keeping up with my Instagram lately, you’ve probably noticed one color dominating my feed: winter blue. While the world outside might be all grays and neutrals this season, I’ve been brightening up the coldest months with dreamy shades of baby blue—and I’m officially obsessed.
What started as small pops of color has turned into full monochromatic moments, and I’m not mad about it. There’s something so fresh and unexpected about wearing icy blues when everything else feels dark and dreary. Plus, it’s surprisingly versatile—it works just as well for cozy daytime looks as it does for polished evening outfits.
Ready to dive into my favorite ways to wear winter’s most underrated hue? Keep scrolling for my top picks!
Outerwear: The Ultimate Statement Piece
A blue coat is hands-down the easiest way to make a bold (but still wearable!) statement. I’ve been loving mine as the perfect alternative to classic camel or black—it instantly lifts any outfit while still feeling seasonally appropriate.
How to Style It:
- Throw it over all-black for an instant color pop
- Pair with cream knits for a soft, wintery look
- Belt it for a more polished silhouette
Denim Done Differently
Move over, classic blue jeans—pastel denim is my new cold-weather staple. Lighter washes feel surprisingly fresh in winter, especially when paired with chunky sweaters or sleek leather boots.
Pro Tip: Try a blue denim-on-denim look by mixing different shades (light top, darker bottoms) to keep it modern.
Accessories: Small Touches, Big Impact
Not ready to commit to full blue outfits? Start with accessories!
- Baby blue handbags add a playful touch to neutral outfits
- Scarves or beanies in frosty shades keep you cozy and stylish
- Statement earrings bring the color closer to your face for a brightening effect
The Monochromatic Magic
Once you fall in love with this color like I have, you’ll want to try all-blue everything. The key to nailing the look?
- Mix textures (think: fuzzy sweaters with sleek pants)
- Play with shades from icy to powder blue
- Add metallic accents like silver jewelry for dimension
