True Blue

Classic Blue is the color of the year for 2020, according to Pantone. Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, says the shade provides familiarity and comfort amid a time of sudden transformation.

“We’re returning to classics because everything has been chaotic in the world,” Pressman says, adding, “It’s not about doing it like you did in the past, but reinterpreting it.” Pressman anticipates lots of sea- and sky-inspired layering across children’s fashion. Additionally, the blue hue can be made naturally, supporting today’s sustainability movement.
