The prettiest 2023 color & how to wear it
Periwinkle blue was the Pantone Color Of Year 2022 and one of the main color trends but that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear this stunning color in 2023. This years color trends are fun, vibrant, like the 2023 pantone color viva magenta, so keep your periwinkle blue on rotation or snap up a new blue dress or accessory. Did you know that every year Pantone chooses a color of the year and for 2022, ‘Very Peri’ Pantone 17-3938 was it.
In the real world, pretty much any cool tones of lighter blue-violet pastel tone are cropping up everywhere especially periwinkle dresses.
My love of periwinkle blue started last Summer with my wardrobe and then went onto painting my nails periwinkle blue. They actually turned out more sky blue but I still love them. There’s a darker Waterloo Blue in the new Butter London Downton Abbey nail polish set that’s super pretty and that goes with all of the bold blues around this year.
That’s where I’m leaving it but others are coloring their hair and homes in this pretty shade of blue. It’s also one of Good Housekeeping’s top 15 colors trends for your home this year!
Runway inspired color trends
Very Peri was on Chet Lo, Lanvin and Xüly Bet Spring 2022 runways to name a few but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Because Pantone didn’t choose their color of the year from their existing colors, they created Very Peri, designers and brands haven’t really had a chance to create this exact shade yet.
Periwinkle from pastel to darker shades are super pretty shades for both men and women. Whether that’s a periwinkle dress, sweater or sneakers.
