The Colour Shift: From Oxblood to Capri Blue — Summer’s New Favourite Hue

Winter's Final Hue vs. Spring's Fresh Favourite

Just when you’d finally nailed your winter look in all its oxblood glory (aka deep burgundy), along comes Capri Blue vibrant, bold, and ready to paint your wardrobe in electric vibes. If you're wondering how to pivot with the seasons without losing your cool-girl edge, we've got you.

At Go Dolly, we’re all about blending timeless with trendy and this colour shift is chef’s kiss perfection. Let’s talk texture, styling, and the standout pieces making this transition effortless.

Oxblood brings a moody elegance, think candlelit dinners and red wine moods. Capri Blue? It’s that spark of holiday energy, full of optimism and dopamine dressing.

Why Oxblood Ruled Winter

Layered Luxe: The Depth of Oxblood

Oxblood had its moment. It brought winter drama — rich tones, layered textures, and that cosy feeling of sipping mulled wine in a knit maxi dress while the wind howls outside.

Style Tip: Mix Your Fabrics

Want to elevate your oxblood game before it exits stage left? Pair a chunky knit with leather pants or a velvet midi skirt for a textured take. The play between matte and sheen brings depth and warmth to your look.

Enter: Capri Blue

What is Capri Blue, Anyway?

Think cobalt meets electric meets that Mediterranean boat photo you saved on Pinterest. It’s not navy. It’s not baby. It’s a statement.
