It’s still winter and I have the winter blues… speaking of blues, I’m going to be telling you the do’s and don’ts when it comes to matching colors in the winter.

I wanted to start off by talking about Pantone fashion color. For starters, Pantone is a company located in New Jersey. They run the fashion world by their matching system, and each year a new color of the year is picked. Now, I bet you’re wondering what that color is. Well, it starts with a B and ends with an E, the sky is that color sometimes and that  color is… Classic Blue.

Pantone choose Classic Blue because it offers reassurance, confidence, and connection that people might be looking for in the new year! Marcus Frison said, “The color reminds me of kindness and a fresh start I think they chose well.”

“It’s very subtle, but I think it can bring happiness,” said Karmell Merriman.

.So how do you incorporate Classic Blue into your wardrobe? First things first, we need to get something straight: jean on jean that doesn’t match isn’t a go! Make sure that you guys remember that you don’t want to look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, even if you did.

Many things can match with this color associated with reassurance and new beginnings. White or yellow can easily be paired with Classic Blue. Yellow is a sign of joy and together they would even each other out. Pantone’s choice could even just be an accessory.

If you really want that classic color to shine, white would complete the look and the classic fantasy, but also make the color pop.

This winter I’m going to challenge you to wear Classic Blue. Easy-to-match colors like white or even black can look great with it, but don’t be scared to shoot for that yellow either!

I wish you many new beginnings from your favorite fashion guru.
