Pantone really nailed its color of the year.

My fashion sense has suffered a bit since the pandemic started. I may have gone overboard on my all-black minimalist look and capsule closet. That was fine when I wasn’t leaving home, but now I’m looking for ways to rejuvenate my style.

Lavender is such a beautiful color to wear. It's soft and versatile. It’s always good for a breeze of color whether in the summer, among darker shades in fall, or paired with winter whites. My renewed appreciation for lavender recently has had me adding a bunch of new pieces to my closet. As it turns out, it’s the Pantone color of the year.

From clothes to handbags and so much more, adding lavender can level up your looks. I often like to wear monochrome outfits with splashes of color. Whether it’s full denim blues or milky creams, lavender is a reliable pick for the right color splash.

The Internet is a big place. From the stores you love to the boutiques you should know, here are 24 more reasons to love lavender.
