If you’ve been looking for ways to amp up your wardrobe or could use a little style inspiration this season, why not play with the Color of the Year? Pantone named Very Peri as its 2022 Color of the Year during December and it has already started popping up in closets, makeup bags and homes.

According to Pantone, Very Peri’s “courageous presence encourages personal inventiveness and creativity,” so now is the perfect time to bring some of the creative energy into your winter outfits! Luckily, this dynamic periwinkle hue is an exceedingly wearable shade, so you don’t have to be afraid of making a Very Peri purchase and then never wearing it again. This color fits into tons of different colors palettes and pairs just as well with bright shades like fuchsia and forest green as it does with neutrals such as taupe and clay.
