Consider Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year, Classic Blue, the CBD to Living Coral’s rosé: whereas 2019’s punchy peach shade was “vibrant and life-affirming,” the next twelve months’ cobalt hue is here to bring “a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit.”

While the name itself may be a bit of a snooze (what about Indigo, Evening Sky, or even Medium Wash Jean?) there’s no denying the hue’s soothing properties and universal appeal. With luxe perfume from Regime des Fleurs that smells like the outdoors, a chic cobalt skirt from Prada, or a color-blocked fleece and denim jacket from Sandy Liang, there are plenty of ways to feel a little blue (in a good way) as we head into a new decade. Here, W editors’ favorite cerulean pieces from around the internet.
