When Kendall Jenner stepped out at the Oscar party in a liquid-like, pale blue halter gown, all eyes were on here (and have been every since), proving that deep winter’s jewel tones are officially on ice. The supermodel’s choice was the crystallizing signal of a shade that has quietly become the most wanted colour on the runways. From Bottega Veneta’s frosty knits to Prada’s ethereal chiffon layers, icy blue has swept the Spring/Summer collections, offering a cool, serene counterpoint to the usual bold brights. It’s a hue that feels both futuristic and nostalgic, like the first breath of cold air on a clear morning. And now, it’s everywhere in the real world. Below, we’ve gathered a mix of high-street and luxe pieces—30 in total—to help you add the trendiest colour of the season to your wardrobe. From satin midis to chunky cardigans, this is the shade that will keep you looking sharp, calm, and effortlessly chic until the last freeze thaws.

How to Style Icy Blue

Icy blue’s magic lies in its neutrality with a twist. Unlike pastel pinks or lavenders, which can read as sweet or overtly feminine, this shade carries a crisp, almost androgynous coolness—think freshly fallen snow under a full moon. That versatility makes it surprisingly easy to style for day or night.

For a Casual Day Look: Start with an oversized icy blue crewneck sweater (the high-street options from & Other Stories or Uniqlo work perfectly) and pair it with well-worn light-wash straight-leg jeans. The tonal dressing trick here is subtle: the blue-on-blue creates a long, lean line without being matchy-matchy. Finish with white leather sneakers and a beige or oatmeal tote. If you want a pop of contrast, try a chocolate-brown suede jacket draped over the shoulders—the warmth of the brown against the cool blue is unexpectedly sophisticated.

For the Office: A tailored icy blue button-down shirt tucked into cream wide-leg trousers reads as polished but never boring. Layer a navy or charcoal blazer on top to anchor the lightness. For a more fashion-forward approach, try an icy blue midi skirt in a silky fabric (like the luxe slip skirts from Totême) with a fine-gauge cashmere turtleneck in heather grey. The key is texture: matte knit + glossy satin = instant depth.

For Evening (The Kendall Effect): Lean into the ethereal. A one-shoulder icy blue top or a sequin-flecked mini dress needs minimal accessories—think platinum or silver jewelry, a clear acrylic clutch, and strappy sandals in nude or silver. Avoid gold hardware, which can clash with the cool undertone. Instead, let the colour be the statement. For a cooler-weather party, layer a cropped white faux-fur jacket over your icy blue dress; it’s the ultimate “après-ski but make it chic” moment.

Colour Combinations That Work: Icy blue pairs best with whites, creams, charcoals, navy, and surprisingly, soft butter yellow or pale lemon for a high-contrast spring look. Avoid pairing it with bright red or neon green—those will overwhelm the subtlety. And if you’re going monochrome, mix an icy blue top with faded denim or a deeper slate blue bottom to keep the eye moving.

Whether you invest in a Bottega Veneta clutch or grab a Zara knit, the rule is the same: wear icy blue like it’s your second skin—effortless, cool, and just a little bit untouchable.
