Pantone has recently released the highly anticipated color of the year, and it seems to be multiplying. There are two hues to choose from this time around—serenity, which is a soft powdery blue, and rose quartz, which is a dusty pink with the slightest purple undertone—but you can also check out Pantone’s complete top ten list over at InStyle. And thanks to the sheer gorgeousness and eye-pleasing characteristics of these choices, they will be a cinch to incorporate into your wardrobe.
Accessories
Rose Quartz
Sunglasses offer the perfect excuse to be playful and have a little fun when it comes to color and style, and the Emalee cat eye sunglasses pictured above in milky pink from Kate Spade have cuteness written all over them. These would add a feminine touch of rose quartz to all of your spring and summer outfits, and they’d look especially darling paired with a retro style bikini this season.
Serenity
Rain, rain, don’t go away—especially since this new umbrella’s here to play! Incorporate Pantone’s serenity with an accessory that’s unique and fun. When stormy weather rears its ugly head, you can fight back with this super adorable porcelain blue bubble umbrella from Hunter Boots as recommended by the staff at Lyst.
Jewelry
Rose Quartz
Jewelry is one of the simplest ways in which to incorporate a new color. Perfect for work or play, the gorgeous Smell The Roses bib necklace pictured above from Kate Spade is the perfect pop of pink for your wardrobe. Pair with black, navy, white, beige, or even pink to effortlessly incorporate Pantone’s new rosy hue into your everyday wardrobe.
Serenity
Elevate your prep style to a whole new level by adding a little piece of arm candy in your favorite new shade of blue. Wear this to the beach, on the boat, or even to the office on casual Friday. From Bermuda shorts and boat shoes to a maxi skirt, tank, and espadrilles, the quartz watch pictured above from Tommy Hilfiger will look great with all of your laid-back outfits for spring.
Shoes
Rose Quartz
Even if you’re shy about incorporating color into your footwear, rose quartz is so soft and unassuming that it could almost be worn as though it’s a neutral. The pink stamp heels pictured above from Asos feature polished leather and a sweet ankle strap, and they’d look great with skirts, dresses, shorts, jeans, and more. Wear them for business or pleasure to create a look that’s perfectly on trend.
Serenity
Flats are a must-have in every wardrobe, so why not have a little fun with the color every now and then? The blue Lily Pad ballet flats pictured above from Asos are perfect for so many occasions, and fashion designer Marchesa’s recent collection seen in Vogue definitely favors this hue. Whether wearing these to class, while running errands, or to the office, the beautiful color will add a touch of cheer to your mornings.
With two gorgeous colors to choose from, it’s hard to pick just one. Fortunately, you can opt for both of Pantone’s hues and wear them practically all year round. Remember to pair these hues with neutrals for a no-fail way to blend them into your wardrobe with ease.
