It’s easy to get a case of the winter blues when grey skies, gloomy weather and icy temperatures are all around you. Luckily for our fellow fashionistas, it’s also easy to get a dose of color therapy by adding a brightly colored scarf or some funky nail polish to your look. This season there is one color guaranteed to fulfill your need for something fresh and fabulous while being right on-trend for the upcoming new year. Enter the newly-proclaimed Pantone Color of the Year for 2014, Radiant Orchid!

A captivating blend of pink, purple and fuchsia, Pantone claims that this shade sparks the imagination while simultaneously radiating joy, love and health. Honestly, who wouldn’t feel a little more vibrant wearing this punchy shade of purple? So whether you need a little burst of color to brighten your mood or your outfit, these gorgeous Radiant Orchid picks definitely aim to please.

For those who are planning a winter getaway or simply looking ahead to spring, look for styles in the “it” color of the season. If you’re into one-pieces with ample coverage, the Starlet peplum suit by Gottex Profile will look stunning against all skin tones. But for those who prefer to show off their figure in a two-piece, check out the fiercely printed Bohemian Rhapsody bikini by PilyQ, which features pops of purple, pink , violet and gold.

As springtime approaches, there will definitely be more outdoor events, parties and weddings. Whether you’re looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress for a springtime wedding or need a cute cocktail dress to wear to a party, the influence of Radiant Orchid can already be seen throughout the dress racks. This beautiful full-length dress would be gorgeous on bridesmaids of all shapes and sizes, with a flattering waist-defining bodice and universally flattering hue. Or if you are looking for the perfect party dress, this Trina Turk lace shift dress easily moves between seasons and occasions with a flirty, yet modest approach to both the lace and orchid color trends.

If you’re looking to take a more subtle approach to this season’s hottest color trend, it’s easy to add a pop of color with makeup or accessories. Brighten up a winter-kissed face with Clinique’s Heather Moon lipstick or Yves Saint Laurent’s Glossy Stain in Violine Surrealiste.You could also bring the attention to your hands with an inspired mani in Marc Jacobs’ Enamored Hi-Shine polish in Oui or this fab party ring by Eve’s Addiction.

Finally, if you’re in the market for a new handbag, we’re loving the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Satchel in plum. Whether you go all out or take a more understated approach, these Radiant Orchid picks will breathe a breath of fresh air into your 2014 wardrobe.
