If you have soft pink and baby blue items in your closet it’s time to bring them forward. Pantone has deemed the 2016 colors of the year; rose quartz and serenity.. Generally there’s only one color each season, however Pantone chose to blend these two colors together to coincide with societal movements towards gender equality and fluidity. You can read more about it here.

So why do we care? Wearing the season’s “it” color(s) sends a non-verbal message of being a style star. Chances are you’re a style star anyway, but wearing Pantone’s color of the year (together or separately) puts you in the fashion spotlight. Look for it on celebrities, in home decor, and of course fashion magazines.
