Use the 2021 Pantone Colors to Build Your Most Confident Wardrobe Ever
Stressors are everywhere. Deadlines, negativity, and long days can take their toll and shake your confidence. But it doesn’t have to. Practicing mindfulness and inviting positive energies into your life with well-chosen clothing and accessories can help you on your way to living your best life.
Choosing Your Colors
The Pantone color for 2021 is actually two colors: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating -- a solid uncompromising gray paired with a cheerful sunflower yellow. This Instagrammable couple is absolutely perfect together!
Ultimate Gray
Illuminating
Color psychologists and marketers know that gray and silver tones inspire you to stay solid, grounded, and whole, while yellow brings an emotional boost -- that zing, that zeal, that zest for life. The result? A more confident, more enthusiastic you.
Ultimate Gray
Gray is far from boring. Gray is associated with the root chakra, which represents grounding, calm, and stability. It’s serious, loyal, unshakable and ready for anything the day can throw at it.
Ultimate Gray means resilience and strength.
Soothing gray or silver makes a strong foundation for building healthy confidence. This gorgeous monochromatic outfit is head-to-toe sophisticated silver, telling the entire world that you mean business. Add a Pantone splash with a bold citrine necklace or some yellow diamond stacking rings for a pop of color.
If a monochromatic look isn’t for you, remind yourself to stay calm and carry on with a fabulous silver and gold bag. It’s an instant confidence booster and statement piece.
Tip: Prepare your day for productivity and creativity on a neutral, unwavering canvas of Ultimate Gray.
Now that you’re grounded, calm, and prepared, you’re ready to take on a challenge. Illuminating is a sunny smile, sparking unbridled optimism. Yellow is the color of action, enthusiasm, and positivity. Bust the blahs with a shot of yellow.
A sweet summery fit and flare dress is an instant mood-lifter and it’s hard not to smile while wearing this vivacious yellow-orange dress. More than just happiness, Illuminating inspires action and spontaneity.
Who can sit still when surrounded by cheerful yellow tones? Bouncy yellow-soled running shoes put a spring in your step. Hit the beach in this popping yellow bikini. With a strong foundation of resilient Ultimate Gray and a wardrobe of extraverted yellow, you’ll have the confidence to make the most of every day.
Practicing Mindfulness
But what if a colorful wardrobe is not enough to inspire a feeling of enthusiasm or groundedness? What if you need emotional strength?
Mindfulness is key to finding your spiritual harmony. Even if you’re not into yoga and meditation, practicing daily mindfulness can help you attract positive energies and shed negativity.
Mindfulness in 6 Easy Steps
Getting your senses tuned is one of the most important ways to start practicing mindfulness.
Close your eyes and consider the sounds, scents, and textures of your surroundings.
Breathe deeply.
Open your eyes again and pay close attention to the details of your surroundings.

Just being fully aware of your place in the universe immediately heightens gratitude and peace.

Harnessing Positivity
I like to bring bold colors into my wardrobe with gemstone jewelry. The stones are meaningful and great for channeling positive energies.
Red and gray grounding stones like hematite, jasper, and obsidian builds a gentle force field against negativity, preparing you for healthy mindfulness.
This black obsidian bracelet is a gorgeous reminder to stay grounded.
Even better, dark crystals are well-known for their negativity-filtering abilities, whether your stress comes from inside or from your surroundings.
This black crystal mask holder chain helps you stay protected in style.
Smoky quartz, which works on both the root chakra and the crown chakra, is ideal for dissipating toxic thoughts. I love to wear smoky quartz as earrings for just this purpose.
Like other yellow stones like yellow jasper, apatite, or even yellow diamonds, citrine harnesses enthusiasm and playfulness. This popular stone blocks shyness and self-doubt.
Add clear crystal stacking bracelets to amplify the vibrations, helping you get the most value from other healing crystals.
Crystal jewelry that makes skin contact, like a ring, bracelet, or pendant, heightens your energies. I like to blend an energizing gemstone with a calming crystal. The soothing stone quiets the internal storms and restlessness, but the energizing crystals get me moving and motivated.
