This is why the Disney Princesses almost always wear blue
Proving it's not just for boys, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Elsa, Jasmine, Ariel and Alice in Wonderland all dress in the colour
DISNEY princesses may be a better role model for your kids than you had realised - and it's all to do with their choice of clothing.
What do Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Elsa, Jasmine, Ariel and Alice in Wonderland all have in common?
The iconic cartoon idols all wear light, icey or sky blue dresses. And no, it's not a coincidence - it's meant to "empower" young girls.
Blue is the colour of trust, calm and serenity - as well as that of confidence.
Designer Christopher Kane told : "When you think of every Disney heroine—Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine—they're all wearing blue! It's a thing, Disney Blue."
"You're adding a bit of power to the character by giving her the blue," Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute told .
"It's a very subtle way of saying, 'Yeah, but young women, young girls, can be empowered, too.'"
While sky blue is also a symbol of positivity and hope, Leatrice added: "It's dependable. It's reliable. It might cloud up, but we know it's there."

And Disney's sending a third very important message with the dresses - that blue isn't just for boys, and not all princesses have to be pretty in pink.
Disney princess fans may be interested in Missguided's new range of £18 Disney T-shirts but the shop has opted to go for black, not blue.
While the REAL endings to these Disney fairy tales will haunt you, from Sleeping Beauty being raped in her sleep, to Pinocchio getting hanged.
