Illuminating: Pantone Color of the Year 2021 Shopping Guide
Something Tells Me Your Wardrobe Could Use a Little Sunshine in 2021
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Last week, Pantone announced the two colors of 2021, and they perfectly capture our current feelings. The selected Illuminating and Ultimate Gray shades embody the anxiety and subdued optimism we've felt throughout 2020, as we wrestled with a pandemic, a racial reckoning, and a heated election season.
As the color-lover I am, the bright yellow shade speaks to me the most. If it has the same effect of making you smile or it happens to be your favorite color, you'll love the fashion guide I've curated ahead. From a colorful headband to a chunky pair of boots, bring the sun to your wardrobe with these styles.
Happy shopping!
