Leave it to Jennifer Lawrence to step out for a casual walk in the city wearing the perfect spring outfit.
An off-duty look styled to perfection, Lawrence kept her laid-back aesthetic intact, all the while honouring a major spring colour trend. She started with an unfussy yet refined foundation: a pair of tailored navy trousers and a classic black bag, both wardrobe staples that form the backbone of any minimalist outfit. But the real star of the look? A roomy knit in the colour that fashion insiders are gravitating toward right now. Not quite baby blue, not quite navy, instead, she picked the perfect, vibrant shade of cobalt—an undeniably fresh hue that has been making its way into the most considered spring wardrobes this season.
It’s a colour that’s been bubbling under the surface for a while, but this season, its popularity feels incomparable. Take Prada’s spring/summer 2025 runway, where unexpected pops of cobalt punctuated tonal looks. From a branding perspective, Burberry’s refreshed cobalt logo injected a modern, energetic edge into the heritage house’s aesthetic, whilst @stylenotcom’s signature blue has been firmly cemented in the fashion consciousness.
Lawrence’s take on the trend proves just how wearable cobalt can be—an easy way to elevate simple spring trousers and inject a hit of colour into a spring wardrobe without veering too far into statement territory. If you’re feeling inspired by her look, read on to discover the best cobalt items to shop now.
