Have you guys heard? Pantone recently announced its new color of the year—radiant orchid—and we couldn’t be more stoked about it! Described as “an expressive, creative, and embracing purple,” the color seems to channel all that we love about maker culture (we’re no stranger to Pantone DIYs!). Plus, it can play both whimsical and ultra luxe, so you can bet we’ll be leaning on this pretty hue to amp up our style game—and you should too! From chic home wares to eye-popping accessories, here are 20 ways to rock everyone’s new favorite color.
1. Orchid Color Customized iPhone 5 Cover ($56): This phone case is the perfect combo of style and function. It’s seriously durable, boasting features like a hard skeletal structure and impact-absorbing interior, all while looking high class thanks to the soft orchid color.
2. Orchid Kuba Pillow Cover ($64): Here’s an easy way to bring the new Pantone color into your living space. Its two-toned, tribal-inspired pattern helps to tame this item of wild purple-pink decor.
3. Mystic Bandana Skirt ($61): We’re loving the easy, breezy vibe of this bandana-inspired skirt. Rock it with a casual tee and a pair of this season’s hottest bootie: the Chelsea boot.
4. Three Piece Utensil Set ($22): This is the ultimate way to add color to a table setting! Wouldn’t these look great next to your gilded cocktail party supplies?
5. Nola Spike Studs ($145): We’re straight-up swooning over these pyramid-shaped studs. The combo of purple-tinged orchid gemstones and gold posts is to die for.
