There are a ton of ways to work the color into your look with great impact. For starters, try pairing a magenta blouse with beige trousers or midi skirts, and finish off with nude heels. The neutral tones in this look will serve as the perfect base to enable the Viva Magenta hue to pop.
#2. Go bold
You can opt for a fiercer look by teaming it with other colors like yellow, orange, or lime green. For example, try pairing a Viva Magenta blouse with green pants for a vibrant, chic look. Or, work subtle magic to your all-magenta look with a gray scarf or belt. Otherwise, wear a deep fuchsia dress with yellow heels or a magenta blouse with a blue statement purse.

#3. Get practical with denim
Magenta looks great with jeans, especially if you want to add a pop of color to a more casual fit. You can wear your magenta blouse with any style of jeans, from skinny to wide-leg or boyfriend jeans. Depending on the occasion, you could dress the outfit up in heels or dress it down with sneakers.
#4. Elevate your businesswear/formal look
Why not try a sheath dress in the Pantone Viva Magenta? This style is perfect for highlighting your curves, and the color will add a pop of brightness to the office. Pair with nude or black heels and a simple purse for a polished look. (For an outfit this bright, don’t forget to consider your office dress policy). Otherwise, wear a lighter shade of magenta (maybe a pale pink) blouse with a pair of ivory pants to tone down the brightness. To continue the corporate vibe, you could pair the look with simple black or nude pumps.
#5. Dazzle for a girls’ time out
For a night out, opt for a glamorous sass in a Viva Magenta number. The deep red hue will make you stand out in a sea of predictable fashion and will look amazing against a plethora of skin tones. Style with crystal/diamond earrings, a metallic clutch, and stilettos for an unforgettable look.
#6. Be chilled in a casual fit
For a casual day out, try a relaxed cotton top in Magenta. The soft cotton fabric will be comfortable to wear all day long, and the bright hue will add some fun to your outfit. Pair with sneakers or sandals and a denim jacket for a cool vibe.
#7. Mix and match
Try combining patterns and textures with your magenta piece. For example, you could wear Magenta pants with a patterned jacket or a rose-pink blouse with a printed skirt.
Wearing a belt over your magenta blouse or fitted blazer can help define your waist and create a more structured look. Additionally, you can wear a thin belt over a blouse for a more relaxed fit, or a thicker belt over a blouse with a fitted silhouette.
