MARC JACOBS MAY TRADEMARC TRENDS Got the rainy day blues? Instead of shying away from the weather, take advantage of the gloomy days and turn the “blues” into a tangible form in your sartorial choices this month by adding in a shade that can easily be looked over— navy. Navy is a classic but refreshing shade that is timeless as well as effortless. More forgiving than black, it invokes a sense of wardrobe calm, and ultimately, it pairs well with neutrals and bright colors alike. You can wear this shade in a variety of ways. If you prefer just a hint of cobalt, pair your outfit with a blue-hued accessory such as a shoe or bag. The shade can also be combined with other colors when worn as just an accent piece or included in a pattern. And for the more adventurous, indigo can be worn head to toe as a literal monochromatic representation of the feelings that the weather conditions outside can conjure. The navy pieces in the Spring 15 collection include flirty cutouts, quirky additions such as pockets and cabuchons, and charming prints to vitalize the shade and ensure that the color doesn’t become too serious. You’ll soon be happy that you got the blues!
