And the Pantone Color of the Year 2014 is... Radiant Orchid. Ring in the new year and brighten up your wardrobe with a splash of purple.

Pantone's pick is feminine, regal, and it looks great with black. (What more could you ask for, right?) Just a touch goes a long way, too. If a full-on berry bodice isn't really your jam, simply work in a few key accessories. Here are our favorites:

1. Proenza Schuler Leather PSI Crossbody Bag, $1,695 

2. Hanky Panky Set of 3 Stretch Lace Boy Shorts, $90

3. Kate Spade Disco Pansy Stud Earring, $23.98

4. Tom Ford Christophe Square Acetate Sunglass, $380

5. ToyWatch Velvety Only Time Watch, $225

6. Butter London Nail Lacquer in Lovely Jubbly, $15

7. Pierre Hardy Cut Out Sandal, $1125.79
