Cobalt blue and orange - putting sizzle into spring and summer

Saturday, 19 April 2014

I've mentioned cobalt blue and orange before - but separately. Both have been seen more frequently over the last year or two. But how about putting the two colours together?

Deji George

Orange and bright blue work well together, as can be seen from the pocket square above from the interesting new brand, Deji George (about whom more here) . At opposite ends of the colour wheel, hot and cool, they positively crackle and pop when next to each other. Here's a selection to put sizzle into your spring and summer.

If you have any favourite orange/cobalt blue in your wardrobe or collection, let me know - I'm happy to do a follow-up post. Hmm... how about a bright blue blazer with orange chinos?

British Boxers - OK, they're worn underneath, but why not go the whole hog?

Orange - Grey Fox unpeels THE colour for Autumn

Saturday, 14 September 2013

Men are now more willing to use colour in their wardrobes, whether in bright blocks or, more discretely, by showing small splashes in socks, ties or pocket squares. Orange, formerly the colour of choice of oil rig and railway workers and health and safety inspectors, is now available in a wide selection of hues for us all to enjoy and is seen in many of this autumn/winter menswear collections.

Sweater Musto - socks Marko John's. What do you think? (With apologies to that wonderful and talented stylist Sarah Gilfillan of Sartoria Lab who bears no responsibility for this post at all).
