I really love the trend of cobalt blue seen on the streets recently. Right now, it’s easy to find a great pair of brightly colored jeans at any major retailer (Gap, J.Crew, Topshop, and Forever 21). Here’s how I’d wear it:

1. Topshop Metallic Crinkle Tee | 2. Cambridge Satchel x Asos | 3. Asos Smooth Cuff | 4. Gap Skimmer Ballet Flats | 5. BDG Cobalt Blue Jeans
