Tuesday- Pantone's Color of the Year 2015 Companion Colors

A Few weeks ago I made a post about Pantone's Color of the Year 2015, Marsala.

I wanted to share with you some colors that work well with Marsala and show you some outfit ideas as well.

Marsala is close to the color Burgundy but is a bit lighter. I think that most stores are going to translate Marsala into their collections through the color Burgundy though.

Some colors that work with and look great with Marsala/Burgundy are greys, very light purple, olive green, most browns, and pink.

In the outfit below, we are using Camel and olive green as base colors so that the Marsala colored pants will pop. Keeping the accessories simple helps to not overwhelm the look.

Green Parka, Camel Sweater, Burgundy Jeans: H&M

Necklaces, Earrings, and Boots: Forever 21

The next outfit focuses on the top as a standout piece. This look is more casual than the two other outfits shown. Since it is more simple the accessories are again simple pieces. 

Burgundy Sweater, White Tank, Grey Jeans: H&M

Earrings, Bag, and Boots: Forever21

The final look has similar colors to the one above however, it has a pop of pink in the shoes. This will help to draw the eye down the entire outfit. 

Marsala Peplum Top, Grey Pencil Skirt, Pink Heels: H&M

Jewel Necklace and Clutch: Forever21

I hope this has given you some inspiration and you will try to experiment with these 

colors on your own!

Thank you
