The two colours

What blue and white each bring

A signature pairing. Clean and bright.

blue

A saturated, royal or cobalt blue. Bold and confident, it's a strong accent that reads cool and energetic.

Works best as: A single accent piece: a knit, a shirt, a dress.

white

Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.

Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
