This year the streets and runway are going to be filled with a sea of blue. So why not add a dash of the colour to your office wear to beat those Monday blues?
A familiar yet calming shade of azure, this year we’re going to be incredibly blue.
According to Pantone, Classic Blue was selected as the colour of the year 2020 for its “timeless and enduring hue, which is elegant in its simplicity.” Pantone further added that it resembles the sky at dusk, and the reassuring qualities of the thought-provoking hue bring a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit.
While blue dominates the wardrobe of many men and women, let us be your helping hand to add this to your office wear. So get on board and let’s decode how you can add Classic Blue to boardroom dressing.
