Blue on Blue

How to wear blue on blue

Hello everyone,

today I want to challenge myself with a combination that appears simple but is actually quite tricky: pairing blue trousers with a dark blue jacket. Generally, this is not among my preferred choices and I tend not to recommend it, as the risk of looking like a mismatched suit is very high. However, when balanced with the right nuances, this combination can reveal absolute distinction.

How can we make it work best? 

To avoid a "uniform" look, it is essential to pair two different materials. My advice is to always opt for cotton trousers: their more casual and matte texture creates a sharp visual contrast when worn under a blue wool or linen jacket.

The depth of tone
A second, equally important detail concerns the shade: the trousers must remain a lighter tone than the jacket. The crisper and more luminous the shade of blue becomes, the more harmonious and effortless the combination will look.

Style, after all, is all about balance, proportion and harmony: even the smallest difference in tone can change everything.
