5 Pantone Colour of the Year Picks

Annually, as Pantone reveals its colour of the year, the shade pops up in fashion, beauty and home décor products. This year, the hue du jour is Classic Blue, and we’re already brainstorming ways to incorporate more of it into our 2020. —Vicki Duong

your bag of holding. Multitasking’s made better in the new year with this mini cube bag ($250) from Your Bag of Holding, which easily converts to a crossbody for a hands-free carry. Based in Vancouver, the brand makes each bag to order and in such a way that it will keep its shape for years to come.

schmearnaturals. Misting with Schmearnaturals’ Aloe Vera Blue Pea Balancing Toner ($23) means spritzing your skin with plant-based power (including blue pea flower tea and witch hazel) to stimulate elasticity and reduce inflammation.

obakki foundation. Add a new focal point to your dining table while also doing good with this indigo table runner ($120), hand-dyed and made in Mali, with 100 per cent of net proceeds to Bidi Bidi, Uganda—the world’s largest refugee resettlement area.

make up for ever. While the idea of blue makeup may be intimidating, using a creamy pencil liner can help you achieve as subtle or bold an eye as desired. We love Make Up For Ever’s creamy pencil liner in Blue Anyways ($24)—extremely pigmented and ultra-blendable, it’s perfect for beginners and pros alike.

halogen by nordstrom. Amp up your #ootd with the perfect combo of this winter’s sweater trends with this Halogen sweater ($80). Long billowed sleeves and a fuzzy v-neck silhouette are perfect for pairing with casual jeans or a dressier slip skirt—and showing off that Pantone Colour of the Year, of course.
