Most blues are so good, it's a shame most people stick to just navy because it's by far one of the worst shades

Nah, I've been trying to explore blue-adjacent colors like teal and purple.

It’s a safe color

Blue carries so much weight due to it being the least volatile of the three primary colours. Its safety lies within its contrast to red's passion or yellow's brightness, and as such, it has more opportunities to display itself across different outfits in various permutations. It can be made subtle, loud, dark, light, dulled, potent. It can be the Carolina blue that represents Michael Jordan's pre-NBA comeup or the indigo dye faded over decades on a pair of worked through denim.

I have to stop myself from buying blue items of clothing. I just harmonize with it so well.

Blue’s alright, but not as cool as black.

Blue is nice because it's a color but it's also neutral, somehow. So it sort of serves a double purpose in a fit

Oh man blue. I keep telling myself I need to buy a coat or jacket in a colour that isn't blue. But then I go on eBay/TradeMe and sort by "blue" lmao

Blue is my favorite color, and all my clothing is either neutral or some shade of blue. I’m trying to branch out to other colors, but then I see a pretty blue shirt and I have to have it

I look over at my wardrobe and in terms of outerwear, 3/6 pieces are blue and navy. I still want a navy blue Teba too. Why is blue so good? Damn.

I have so many blues. Jeans, navy chinos, denim shirts, chambray, blue alpha shirts, blue linen shirts, blue short sleeve pattern shirts, indigo Sashiko shirt, indigo Sashiko shoes, navy suit, navy sport coat, medium blue suit, blue plaid sport coat, blue OCBD, blue flannel shirts. Outerwear probably has the least blue for me

Purple is great. I need a purple shirt polo or turtleneck. Blurples are also fantastic combining the best of both adjacent colours
