If Elle Woods were a lawyer in 2023, this is what she'd be wearing! This color is such an unusual choice for a style pairing such as this but the final look is so fun and feminine. Although this color screams Spring, this entire outfit is such a welcome and inviting choice for a Winter outfit. The velvet blazer and pants may be paired with a matching turtleneck or other neutral color pairing, like cream. Play up the pink, and polish the look off with matching pumps and a chic designer belt. If you're a White Lotus fan, you're VERY familiar with this handbag worn by Tanya (RIP). Love this handbag option for year-round use.

Dive right into the color of the year with a monochromatic look. The key to this type of look is layering in a variety of textures, so that even if the hues are not spot on, they will still coordinate. In this look we have the pleated texture of the overshirt, layered over the superfine wool knit of the turtleneck; and both paired with the sheen of the silk trousers and the suede texture of the loafers...all creating a bold look sure to show off that eye-catching Viva Magenta.
OUTFIT DETAILS
Coat - Aqua Plaid Trench Coat
Shirt Dress - Button up Shirt Dress
Dress - Sweater Dress
Boots - Stuart 85 Bootie
Scarf - Jimmy Choo Reta
If monochromatic magenta isn't your thing, opt for a pop of color pairing instead. These stretch booties from Stuart Weitzman are super fun and sexy and easily paired with just about any neutral style option, like a black sweater dress. Layer a black sweater dress, like this one, with a long white button up shirt dress underneath for a trendier look. Polish the look off with this AQUA Plaid Trench Coat that provides just the right amount of pop of color of magenta. Accessories are a more subtle approach to incorporating this color - look for earrings, handbags, headbands or even silk scarves that contain this magenta color.
OUTFIT DETAILS
Jacket - Garment Dyed Work Jacket
Pants - Cord Heroes Corduroy Pants

Navy blue is the perfect complement to the Viva Magenta color and allows the boldness of the color to pop. Pairing timeless pieces that already exist in your wardrobe with new trendy pieces, like these colored corduroy pants, is the easiest way to incorporate this new color into your wardrobe. Keeping the rest of the outfit simple and classic help to elevate the overall look and keeps you from looking too gaudy or like you are trying too hard.

A floral dress pattern is a simple and subtle way to incorporate a bold color, or perhaps a color you're unfamiliar wearing. This Alice + Olivia mini dress is super cute and easily paired for year-round wear. For winter, pair with stockings and chic suede knee high boots and either an oversized blazer or wrap coat. For Spring, opt for killer heels in a similar color and dressy trench, And finally, for Summer, pair with black combat boots and matching moto jacket - hey, badass chicks like magenta too!
OUTFIT DETAILS
Coat - Double Breasted Textured Coat
Pants - Clyde Slim Trouser
Sweater - Wool Crewneck Sweater

Another fun way to incorporate the Viva Magenta color is through patterns. These trousers are a bold choice, but the black base color allows you to easily incorporate them into many looks. We selected a coordinating colored sweater for this look to really commit to this year's color, but you can easily replace the bold color with a neutral color sweater that might better fit your style. Discovering new color schemes and trends is a great way to step out of your comfort zone, so definitely have fun trying them out.
