Feeling blue? Summer days have stepped into their full glory- and while getting tanned while holidaying by the beach may be on your mind, the sun has its agenda of making you swelter. Your favorite PJs, a plain white kurta, a baggy cotton palazzo suit, or a rayon Kurti are the safest bets to take you through the day. But when it comes to stepping out, letting go of your fashion sense doesn’t sound great- even if the weather is harsh!
I had been preparing a color-checklist for the season, and have ticked-off of the blue palette as a color chart for 2020. Classic blue being the Pantone Color of the Year 2020, the blue palette is gotta be trending! And now is the time to counter the weather hotness with the coolest band on the spectrum- soothing icy shades of blue!
Different Shades of Blue Outfit Ideas for Summer 2020
Why is blue apt for summers?
Shorter the wavelength- stronger the heat resistance- and that’s why blue can just so easily keep the heat away. Well frankly, I don’t intend to give much of scientific reason to raise the bar of the blue palette, but we can’t overlook the soothing semantics of blues. The color is unquestionably calming- and refreshing- all that you need to get through the heat! So if blue isn’t your top favorite, its weather and mood effect may still lead you to bring its varied shades to your summer closet.
The blue palette- an ocean of colors
Some like it vivid and loud while some prefer its subtleness- the good thing is that there’s a perfect shade of blue to match each of your preferences. It is an amazingly vast palette- blue is abundant! So let’s get exploring the icy blue prettiness with ethnic wear trends- here’s a treat of refreshing choices!
Colors of the sea
Have you been planning a relaxing holiday by the beach? Given the scorching heat, the Vitamin Sea may sound like the best therapy, but for some quick weather-fix, you can treat yourself to an aqua blue tunic or a sea blue georgette saree. Play low key with your accessories- put on a pair of white tassel earrings or a pearl necklace. The energizing vibe of aqua shades will take you through the day with full energy!
Pastel Prettiness
Pastels are the saviors of the season! Pastel blues with tones ranging from light to medium are for the ones who prefer sophistication and understated glamour.

Adding a neutral touch to the cool vibes of blue- steel blue is a shade that you can carry throughout the day. Its versatility is condemnable; you can wear a steel blue cotton palazzo suit for office and a steel blue satin gown for an evening ball.

Glam up your look with diamond danglers!
A Regal Vibe
One of the most vivid shades of the blue palette- with unmatched imperia- royal blue has been an all-time favorite of the elite. If you’d ask me for an outfit choice for a regal Indian wedding, a royal blue lehenga choli crafted in Banarsi silk and a royal blue silk saree with golden zari weaves would be on my list!

Teal blue is yet another color-in-trend for the 2020 year. This is one delightful shade that goes equally well with traditional and contemporary wear. It also complements most of the Indian skin tones- so go ahead and wear this color with confidence!
