What Are We Wearing?

Pantone’s 2023 color of the year, Viva Magenta!, is all about confidence, exuberance, and joy. Here are some unique ways to add this bold color to your wardrobe this Spring.

Handbags

You have two choices when it comes to the perfect “Viva Magenta” inspired handbag. 1.) Go big! An oversized tote bag paired with a neutral-toned knit maxi dress with knee-high black boots is a chic statement letting the tote pop. 2.) Style a sleek magenta clutch as an accent piece to an LBD (little black dress) or jumpsuit for a night out.

Shoes

I recommend wearing magenta rain boots with black leggings and a wool cape over your shoulders for the colder months. Add a strappy magenta sandal to a flowy kaftan or cotton maxi skirt for warmer climates. Or my personal fav, a sky-high magenta platform with ankle-length denim for a showstopping of-the-moment look.

An Overcoat

A statement-style overcoat is a solid yet ultra-feminine look with a dress or jeans and a white crew-neck tee. Another must-have I cannot resist is a bright magenta coverup over an elegant black one-piece swimsuit with a wide-brim sun hat for the ultimate chicness.

Accessories

Any Viva Magenta-accented jewelry piece would be complemented perfectly by gold to add warmth to color. A giant magenta right-hand ring or statement earrings adorned with pavé diamonds would make a gorgeous statement. Or keep it simple with a new band for your Apple watch for everyday chicness.
