If you keep up with color trends, you’ll know that Pantone recently named Radiant Orchid 2014’s Color of the Year. Described as “an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones,” we think Radiant Orchid looks especially chic when paired with sophisticated navy. The neutral hue balances out the warm undertones found in this shade of purple and in turn, orchid really pops against navy.

Outfit #1: Back to Basics
A little hesitant to try out this bold hue? Start by incorporating orchid into your accessories, as shown in the outfit below. Pair a navy striped long sleeve tee with your fave pair of jeans, then wrap an orchid-colored scarf around your neck. A navy beanie adds extra warmth, while taupe combat boots ground the ensemble. Accessorize with these unique chain-wrapped stud earrings to finish up this look.
Another fab way to rock Pantone’s Color of the Year is with outerwear, like this stylish yet practical orchid peacoat. A navy skater skirt balances out the bright orchid, while a diamond print sweater adds interest. To continue the wintery vibe, add a pair of opaque tights and some black riding boots. Complete this getup by slipping on a cute heart-shaped locket.
