‘Back in September, right after NYFW, Pantone Color Institute announced the color palette for Spring/Summer 2023. I am usually a neutral, monotone girl regarding my outfit choices. As much as I was so happy to see all the fun colors, how do I apply these to my wardrobe?’ Today, I challenged myself to incorporate splashes of color into my wardrobe.

Pantone color Fiery Red has been EVERYWHERE this season. I can use this pop of color as an accessory to elevate my outfit. When choosing a top, because it is an intense color, I would select a softer fabric, such as silk, to make it light and elegant.
From top left clockwise: Le Specs Tragic Magic Sunglasses, J.CREW TENCEL™-blend squareneck tank top, H&M Wedge-heeled Mules, Toteme Embroidered silk-twill wide-leg pants
Pantone color Tangelo is such a fun color and perfect during summer months! I find it easy to do head-to-toe with this orange and not look heavy or too much.
From top left clockwise: The Elder Statesman Simple Crew, Prada Satin Headband, Comme Si The Yves Socks, New Balance Classic 574, The Frankie Shop LUI COTTON BOXER SHORT
Another great color to play with. Though I saw many of these Empire Yellow shade dresses, I would stay true to myself and be simple, somewhere between girly and sporty!
From top left clockwise: Comme Des Garçons Play heart logo print slim fit T-shirt, GANNI STRIPE DENIM STARY, Rag & Bone Bailey Sport Slide, BOTTEGA VENETA iPhone 13 Pro Case, J.CREW Cadiz hand-knotted rope tote
Playing with texture and prints, I can easily incorporate green into my wardrobe. Classic Green and Love Bird were the key green colors of the season. How about upgrading your phone case with this trendy color?
From top left clockwise: Maison Michel Andre, Rag & Bone Priya Linen Vest, J.CREW The Knotty One’s Laumės sweater, Rag & Bone Sofie Linen Short
I already wear a lot of navies, so I would like to dive fully into these trendy blue shades; Blue Perennial and Summer Song. Vests have been popular for the past few seasons, and I always love a good hat!
From top left clockwise: Acne Studios ASYMMETRIC JUMPER, J.CREW Maxine V-neck shift dress, Anthropologie Squared Resin Cuff Bracelet, dolce vita Crissy Clutch, Acne Studios WOOL BLEND SKIRT, H&M Dress Pants
I love pink! Lucky me, there are so many shades of trendy pink this season; Crystal Pink, Peach Pink, and Beetroot Purple. And I think they are excellent when mixed and matched!
I hope you had fun with me on today’s post! Please let me know which colors and items you want to include in your wardrobe. I always love some fashion talk!
Xo, Ayaka
