You could say it all started when the one and only Victoria Beckham sent a beautiful, rich cobalt-blue utility jacket down the SS26 runway. The fashion world (myself included) let out a unanimous gasp of joy over such an unexpected burst of colour. After years of beige, butter and brown taking centre stage, I think it made us all feel just a little bit alive again.

Fast-forward a few months and cobalt blue has gone from runway surprise to fully fledged fashion obsession. Cobalt-blue jackets quickly garnered a very stylish following throughout spring/summer, and now, as we head into autumn, they’ve cemented themselves as one of the season’s coolest outerwear trends. If you’re looking for a jacket that will instantly make your existing wardrobe feel fresher, this is it.
Victoria Beckham’s design has, unsurprisingly, sold out everywhere, but thankfully the high street and other luxury retailers have been busy creating their own takes on the trend. And there are some very good ones landing for the new season.

I’ve already invested heavily. I’ve been wearing this Arket style on repeat since spring.
Whether your style leans more utilitarian (see Arket, Bhoem and LF Markey), you’re tempted by a luxurious suede number (Zara has done it again) or you prefer the sporty appeal of a technical bomber (influencers are already going wild over this Nobody’s Child one), there’s a cobalt-blue jacket out there for you.
So, if you’re ready to inject a little colour into your autumn wardrobe, I’ve scoured the new-season drops to bring you the best cobalt-blue jackets worth knowing (and shopping) now.
