Between the vibrant-color-hold-over from summer and the color-blocking
trend that has been prominently featured in magazine fall trend previews (though are they really previews at this point? Isn't it already fall?), cobalt
blue currently has a big place in color real estate of the fashion world. I was
just browsing through the shoe section of the Accessories archive on style.com (don't go there unless you want to inexplicably lose 3 hrs of
your day!) for fall wardrobe inspiration and couldn't help but be drawn
to the bold color on so many styles of shoes. Here are a few of my
favorites:
Pierre Hardy. I feel like I see this heel everywhere and yet I can't help but notice something new about it every time I see it! It's like the shoe of a chic superhero!
Christian Louboutin. The man of the red sole can do no wrong. I love that it is nonchalantly super-stylish and my ankles thank him for the generous cut-out...well, they would if I could buy these ;)
Pollini. The emphasized stitches, over-sized tassel (love!) and brick-of-a-heel make this an unforgettable shoe even if the color was boring instead of this bright hue. I spotted this in last month's Harper's Bazaar and stared for a while, which sparked the search.
Will you be wearing cobalt kicks this fall? Or will you be wearing bright blue in your clothing or saving it for smaller accessories instead?
