2020 Just Got a Beautiful New Color Trend Thanks to Elsa Hosk
Feel free to disagree with me (which I don't think you will), but Elsa Hosk is one of the most stylish models of our time. So when I spotted a style Q&A on her Instagram Stories last week, I admittedly watched it several times. There were lots of gems to take in (and don't worry—she saved it in her highlights), but the one that caught my eye was her response when someone asked what her favorite color to dress in was. Her response was pink and purple, and she had plenty of photos of herself wearing the combination to back it up.
During these times, doing little things to cheer yourself up is certainly a good idea, and I don't know about you, but wearing the pretty combination of pink and purple does that for me. (Plus, it works with loungewear too, as Hosk displays below.)
Keep scrolling to shop the Elsa Hosk–approved color trend that I think you're going to start seeing a lot more.
