Did you know that magenta is predicted to be the most popular colour of the year by experts? Below are ways you can add it to your wardrobe.
Colour experts at Pantone Colour Institute have predicted that magenta will be the trend colour of 2023. Vibrant and full of personality, magenta is a bold shade of pink that can add a stunning pop of colour to any outfit. Bright colours, though intimidating at first, are easier to wear than you might think. Below are some of our favourite magenta pieces for every occasion.

This 100% wool coat is a bit of an investment at just over €400, so follow the ’30 wears’ rule (ie ask yourself do you have other items in your wardrobe to style this with so that you will wear it at least 30 times?) to ensure you get a good cost-per-wear return.
