Ever since the year 2000, the Pantone color institute has selected a color of the year that is believed to represent our contemporary society. For the year 2020, Pantone has chosen “Classic Blue” as the official color of the year. It is the seventh time since 2000 that a shade of blue has been chosen. Pantone believes that modern technology is helping our world develop at a rapid pace, and people live in the digital age are seemingly gravitating towards colors that are calming and have a protective quality. According to the company, Classic Blue “brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge” as a new decade begins.

While we still planning on rearranging our wardrobe’s color theme, some celebrities were ahead of the curve as always, and have already sported Classic Blue before this announcement. We have put together some epic Classic Blue outfits worn by Korean celebrities to get you all started. Let’s go!

Clothing

Seohyun

Simple is more. South Korean singer Seohyun created a perfectly refreshing summer look by styling her Classic Blue dress with white accessories.

Naeun (APINK)

Make a noise and get noticed! Naeun’s hip-hop referenced street style look is definitely going to make heads turn!

RM (BTS)

Instead of Navy, try Classic Blue to go with your black suits this year as RM did.

Kang Daniel

Kang Daniel doubled it up with a pair of blue jeans and we have got a lively and calming off-duty look.

Sunmi

If you have a light skin tone like South Korean singer Sunmi, Classic Blue is your color. Try an oversized sweater with cropped jeans and a pair of sleek ankle boots and wrap up your look with a pop of yellow.

Jennie (BLACKPINK)

Ready to party? Take notes from Jennie and slay dance pool with a sexy pussy cat look in Classic Blue!

Han Ye-seul

South Korean actress Han Ye-seul stood out effortlessly with her statement-making floral dress. The result of Classic Blue, black and white-based large-scale floral print is quite stunning.

Seolhyun (AOA)

If you want to create a more approachable fashion look, try this small-scale floral retro-styled dress. The use of Classic Blue on the top really complimented Seolhyun’s skin tone.

Lia (ITZY)

Classic Blue is the perfect choice to brighten up a top-to-toe black outfit in a low-key way. We love Lia’s Classic Blue blazer against her dark-toned background color.

Nayeon (TWICE)

Love a cool double denim look but not confident enough to pull off one? No worries, try a Classic Blue shirt like Nayeon and create an illusion of a casual yet stylish double denim look.

Accessories

Not really a “blue” person? You can still ride the wave by adding the right accessory to your outfit.

Chanyeol (EXO)

A pop of Classic Blue bag can really elevate an otherwise “basic” look you quickly put together.

Irene (RED VELVET)

Carry a structured handbag in Classic Blue like Irene did if you choose a light-colored outfit to attend an event.

Hong Jong-Hyun

It is not easy to pick the right bag when you are wearing a complex pattern. Neutral colors like black, white and grey will certainly do the trick. However, if you feel more adventurous, try a Classic Blue belt bag like South Korean actor Hong Jong-Hyun.

Hair Color

While Classic Blue does complement Asian skin tone in general, this hair color may not work well as a day-to-day look. However, if you are on holiday and want to set the inner you free or you simply love to express yourself with colors, it is definitely worth it to give Classic Blue a go.

Yeonjun (TXT)

Yeonjun looks youthful and artistic with his Classic Blue hairstyle.

Wheein (MAMAMOO)

Classic Blue hair color can open up so many outfit possibilities with colors that we don’t normally dare to get close to. Wheein created a sexy contrast between her blue hair and rose-pink silk skirt.

IU

IU, on the other hand, went for a mellow approach with her braided Classic Blue hairstyle and created a fairy-like outfit.
