Welcome to Maine: Cobalt Craze


Here in Maine we've got the blues: cobalt blue, that is!

It seems cobalt is popping up all over as we head towards spring. This pop of color immediately brightens any wardrobe and works best mixed with other solids. It doesn't matter what piece, though the cobalt jean has been appearing over and over again. Pair with less overpowering colors, like a tan jacket and white shirt, or mix with yellow, silver, and other shades of blue. Keeping it simple is key.

Check out these skinnies from American Eagle, Loft, and the Limited:

Cobalt blue jeans
L to R: American Eagle Cobalt Jegging, ae.com, $44.50; LOFT Marisa Straight Ankle Length Pants in Jewel Tone, loft.com, $62.99; Limited Colorful Skinny Jean, thelimited.com, $74.90

If you're not the adventurous type, a splash here and there works the trend in other ways too. Try hot heels, flats, or a bright jewelry to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring. Cobalt is all about chic-ness, so work it in in subtle ways for that perfect note.

I don't wear colored jeans, but I really like the ones from Limited!
