Cute Magenta Dresses To Rock 2023’s Color Of The Year

If you’ve noticed a lot more cute magenta dresses on the market, your observations are spot on! Pantone released 2023’s Color of the Year—welcoming ‘Viva Magenta” to the fashion space. While we’ve seen a lot of pink in past seasons, this shade is taking a turn for the brightest. Coming in a range of red tints and fuchsia hues, magenta is can be quite the spectrum to base your ensembles off of. Not to mention, there’s always fun to be had when the color pink is involved. Even if you’re not much of a so-called girly-girl or feminine, the shade comes in a world of silhouettes and styles. From striking sleeves on minis, to trailing gowns, there’s a whole lot of potential to take advantage of. And with options like this, it’s hard not to fall in love with Pantone’s decision.

Introduce Magenta To Your Wardrobe

Cute magenta dresses aren’t just a hit trend this year, but they come in a world of colors. Even if you don’t normally wear bright colors, you can still try Pantone’s color of the year in a variety of ways. For example, the CAROLINA HERRERA Pointelle Jacquard Fit & Flare Dress and the VERSACE Embellished Jacquard-knit Mini Dress are great introductory options. Keeping it short and simple is one of the easiest ways to rock a trend you’re not entirely confident about.

After all, ‘Viva Magenta’ is quite the bold color—in fact, bring on brightness like never before. But just because magenta happens to be color of the year, doesn’t mean you can’t wear a shade you’re more comfortable with. When it comes to pink dresses, the key to playing it safe is keeping it short and toned down in hue. This way, you can still enjoy most of the cute magenta dresses of 2023—all without sacrificing your preference.
