How to Use the Color of the Year With Other Colors for the Most Outfits

When the Pantone Color Institute named their Color of the Year to be Very Peri, I discovered a lot that I hadn’t known before. For one thing, I thought I had only one periwinkle top but realized it is a light blue. And for another thing, I found that I actually have five tops and six scarves that are actually periwinkle but I had thought of them as shades of lavender. When I discovered that, I got interested in combining those pieces into a variety of outfit combinations based on what colors go well with them. Suddenly this blog post was born because I wanted to share with you what I learned. You will find out how to use the color of the year by mixing and matching with other colors in your closet to get the most outfit combinations you can from what you have. 

Periwinkle is featured in the True Spring color palette. But actually it is a universal color that looks good on anyone, depending on the shade. And when you use color to your advantage, age doesn’t matter. That’s because wearing your most flattering colors next to your face makes your skin look clearer and your eyes stand out. And you’ll get a beautiful effect with your natural hair color, too. You don’t have to stick with the exact shade of Very Peri. The stores aren’t; they’re offering a wide variety of purples and lavenders. So choose from cool or warm, light or dark, bright or soft shades of purple to find what’s best for you.
