This season, baby blue is stepping into the spotlight! Though its name might sound delicate, this spring’s hottest color has matured into a chic and sophisticated choice. Seen everywhere from Alaïa and Loewe to Chloé and Chanel, this soft hue offers a fresh, elegant alternative to classic neutrals. While pastels can sometimes feel too sweet, pale blue—when styled right—looks polished rather than childish.
Like pale pink and butter yellow (two other trending shades this season), baby blue is a subtle way to add color to your wardrobe while keeping things refined. It also pairs beautifully with other tones—we love it with grays, whites, chocolate brown, and even avocado green. For styling inspiration, check out our guide below.

Balance femininity and edge with a baby blue skirt, a white anorak, and a textured tank.

A baby blue sweater and white maxi skirt make a dreamy spring duo—add a suede jacket for structure.

Keep it simple and sweet with a pale blue shirtdress, a trench, and clean white sneakers.
6. With Relaxed Suiting & an Eye-Catching Bag
A baby blue button-down (and a bold avocado bag) bring whimsy to tailored suiting.
