As creatures of habit we love to lean on blue. There's nothing wrong with having it as your go-to. It offers reassurance to so many of us; a colour that delivers quiet clout, practicality, denim, 'safe' options for challenging style conundrums, and easy-to-throw-on style solutions. Here are some brilliantly blue finds at The FairGround, all of them failsafe wardrobe additions.

You want to veer away from the obvious but you don't want to get it wrong. We suggest you go timeless. Something that doesn't date. So we're here to hero stripes, in all their manners. From baskets to Bretons, it's the pattern that keeps on giving and looks great on everyone.
