How Fashion People Will Wear the New Millennial Pink
Step aside, blush tones. There’s a new pastel shade we’re ready to embrace this year. Ever since Pantone announced the 2018 Color of the Year (Ultra Violet), all shades of purple have been on our minds. But it’s the lighter shade of the color that’s catching our eyes. Mark our words: Dreamy, Insta-worthy lavender is about to be everywhere. In fact, fashion girls are already embracing the color. Keep scrolling for instant outfit inspiration that incorporates the lighter shade of year’s It color.

Fashion girls won’t just be testing out the color trend, they’ll be playing with equally vibrant hues to create cool color combos.
