Viva Magenta, Pantone’s 2023 color of the year, lives at the intersection of red and pink. Embodying both the boldness of red and the friendliness of pink, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta exuberates an empowering yet approachable warmth. Pantone executives have expressed that the color contrasts primordial and innovative nature and technology. As a member of the red dye family, this color holds great value and can add significant value to your closet. As it is only just the beginning of 2023, you have plenty of time to incorporate magenta into your wardrobe throughout the year. Such a specific color may not represent your closet, but don’t fret; below are a few ways to incorporate magenta into your style during 2023.
One of the best ways to add a pop of color to your outfit is with a bright bag. Pictured below is the Troisieme Chain Clutch in color Compote designed by Delaroq, a sustainable handbag and accessories line based in New York City. With experience in design roles for Louis Vuitton and Prada, Delaroq designer and founder Jennifer Lyu certainly have experience in the industry. Delaroq operates on an up-cycling concept and uses industrial excess as materials, making their items all one-of-a-kind.

Another subtle way to make a statement with magenta is with the Lion Gem Drops by Sonia Boyajian. The playful shapes and cochineal color complement an ensemble and add a little charisma. Sonia Boyajian personally handcrafts every piece of jewelry herself. Sonia has learned her skills from traveling worldwide, but you can visit her shop in L.A. or online.
A dainty way to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year into your closet is with the Pixie Pearl Slide Sandals. These slides are nothing short of a statement, and with a padded footbed and velvet material, functional meets fabulous. Pair the pearls with a classic cocktail dress, pair of blue jeans, and a T.
