wear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> navy is a classic that suits most people, royal blue and cobalt are bold and eye-catching, light and powder blue are soft and romantic, and teal and turquoise are a distinctive blue-green alternative. The best shade is the one that makes you feel confident. If you&#8217;re unsure, hold a swatch or a similar-coloured top up to your face in daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_shades_at_a_glance\"><\/span>Blue shades at a glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Shade<\/th><th>The feel<\/th><th>Styles that suit it<\/th><th>Often chosen by<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Navy \/ midnight<\/strong><\/td><td>Classic, elegant, a softer alternative to black<\/td><td>Sheath, A-line, slits, backless<\/td><td>Anyone wanting formal and understated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Royal \/ sapphire<\/strong><\/td><td>Bold, regal, vibrant<\/td><td>Satin A-line, ball gown, mermaid<\/td><td>Anyone wanting to stand out<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cobalt \/ electric blue<\/strong><\/td><td>Saturated, modern, dramatic<\/td><td>Mermaid, sheath, jumpsuit<\/td><td>The confident, fashion-forward<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Light \/ powder \/ ice blue<\/strong><\/td><td>Soft, dreamy, romantic<\/td><td>Tulle, chiffon, A-line, ball gown<\/td><td>Spring and summer proms, soft looks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Teal \/ turquoise<\/strong><\/td><td>Unusual, blue-green<\/td><td>Modern cuts, sequins<\/td><td>Anyone wanting something different<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navy_blue_classic_sophistication\"><\/span>Navy blue: classic sophistication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navy is the blue equivalent of the little black dress.
