Ok, we're not ruling out that it's a complete coincidence but TWO of the most fashionable ladies on the planet have rocked bright blue tracksuits in the last week (and even more this year), so we're thinking it's time to take notice. Ok? Ok.

Just yesterday, Victoria's Secret angel Romee Strijd stepped out in New York wearing a Cotton Citizen turtle-neck blue jumper with matching joggers and last week, Gigi Hadid emerged in a blue tracksuit (also Cotton Citizen), which she wore with grey lipstick.

But the inexplicably trending blue tracksuit isn't just any old blue: don't be fooled into thinking you can simply throw on your nearest baby blue or turquoise joggers to nail this trend. Nope, it's bold, bright and best likened to 'azure' or 'royal blue' (we looked at our colour chart - you're in good hands here)

See Bella Hadid's Off-White tracksuit (worn in May) for reference:

Even Stormzy rocked a similar blue Adidas look when performing at Glastonbury Festival back in June proving the blue tracksuit isn't just for the ladies.

We couldn't shake the feeling we'd seen this shocking blue tracksuit in times gone by, and a little research confirmed our thoughts...

Paris Hilton said the fashion world copies her, and maybe she's right.
