New Year, New YOU!

Have fun with the 2026 Pantone Color of the Year

There is something refreshing about making a new start, especially in the New Year. It’s that time of year where we can “begin again.”

What we’ve learned is how much one’s style and attitude can impact our behavior and how we feel. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for each day.

At the start of this New Year, ask yourself, “Can I try to wear new colors & styles this year?”

A customer recently came up to us and said, “I am so tired of wearing black all the time, but I don’t know how to bring color into my wardrobe. How can I change in the New Year?”

So, we shared with her the Pantone Color for 2026,” Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201), a "billowy, balanced white" chosen for the first time in the color's history to symbolize peace, rebirth, and a fresh start in a chaotic world, acting as a calm canvas for new ideas.” In addition, red and burgundy tones, primrose pink tones, and some dark blue tones are popular for 2026.

The good news was that our customer is open to trying new things.

We suggested she experiment with new clothing colors, jewelry, and accessories to complement her desired look. She mentioned she wanted to integrate light pink, red, and blue tones into her wardrobe.

We also recommended moonstone, rose quartz, carnelian, aquamarine, and lapis blue gemstone jewelry pieces. Our turquoise single stone large ring with gold fill caught her eye, and she paired it with our carnelian single stone earrings.

We thought a blue colored sweater would be a good first staple. A pashmina or silk scarf is another easy way to add color. We showed her our Blue White Silk Felt Decor Scarf, incorporating the Pantone colors and elevating her style!

What was great is she left filled with ideas on how to create a new look for herself with the 2026 Pantone colors. We’re sharing this with you so you too can do the same. Wearing a colorful gemstone necklace, ring, earrings, or bracelet will brighten your look.
