Winter Sky or Skyline Blue
This season’s palette dives deep into the ocean of blues, the hues of this season’s blue range from on the light wispy side as seen in Powder Blue, Winter Sky, and Starlight Blue, to the dark, moody shades of Future Dusk, Baritone Blue, Cobalt Blue, and Evening Blue.[i] Winter Sky, also known as Skyline Blue, stands out as the must-have hue for Autumn/Winter 2024-2025.[ii] This delicate, cooler variation of royal blue is the embodiment of calm and tranquillity, offering a fresh alternative to neutral staples like grey or black.[iii]
Its versatility shines in everything from plush knits and textured wools to sleek satin contrasts with bold black accents. This ethereal shade also evokes the cozy familiarity of faded denim, making it effortlessly wearable and a breeze to pair with virtually any color or print. Think powdery blue against camel or vivid cobalt alongside chocolate brown for a dynamic seasonal look.[iv] [v]
Whether it’s sky blue, powder blue, turquoise or cerulean, an ocean of blue is ready for you to dive into. Softer tones work as a neutral against camel, brown and grey, while more vivid iterations add a punchy pop to any fall and winter look—think, a bright blue satin blouse teamed with a pair of black or chocolate brown wool pants.
Accessorize with confidence by adding a Skyline Blue bag to your wardrobe—perfect as a pop of color or a subtle complement to richer tones.[vi] Explore standout options like 3 Gen Handbags’ vegan leather bucket bag here
