Shades of Blue: From Sky to Ocean
From sky to ocean, blue unfolds in a range of subtle shades.
An iconic colour of the maritime world, blue is a natural part of the Mat de Misaine wardrobe. Sometimes light and luminous, sometimes deep and intense, it evokes changing light, the sky and the many shades of the Atlantic.
A palette that also makes it easy to play with colour combinations and layering.
From Light Blue to Navy Blue
Not all shades of blue tell the same story.
Light blues bring brightness to a silhouette and naturally complement a wardrobe built around soft tones.
At the other end of the palette, navy blue offers greater depth. Timeless and easy to wear throughout the seasons, it provides a versatile base for a wide range of colour combinations. An iconic colour of the maritime wardrobe, it naturally features on both women’s Breton tops and men’s Breton tops.
Between the two, the different shades make it possible to create subtly layered, tonal looks.
How to Style Blue
One of the advantages of blue is how easy it is to combine with other colours.
Paired with white or ecru, it creates a bright silhouette directly inspired by the seaside. These tones highlight the different shades of blue while maintaining a soft colour palette.
Combined with denim, blue allows you to play with tonal combinations and different textures. A blue shirt or knit, for example, can be paired with women’s jeans for a relaxed look.
Beige and natural tones bring additional softness and evoke the colours of sand and the coastline.
Finally, a few touches of bolder colour can add contrast and bring a predominantly blue outfit to life.
Embrace Tonal Shades of Blue
Wearing several shades of blue in the same outfit creates a harmonious look without necessarily choosing exactly the same tone.
A light blue piece can be paired with a deeper blue or with denim. The contrast between shades, fabrics and textures adds depth to the silhouette while maintaining a cohesive colour palette.
This approach to colour opens up a wide range of combinations within the same wardrobe and naturally complements pieces from our Women’s Collection.
Blue, a Colour at the Heart of Our Universe
At Mat de Misaine, blue naturally evokes the Atlantic and the maritime heritage that has shaped the brand.
From bright skies to the deeper waters of the ocean, its many shades provide a source of inspiration that evolves throughout the collections.
This connection with the ocean is deeply rooted in the history of Mat de Misaine, born in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and inspired by the Atlantic.
