As 2012 winds down, we look towards the new year with fresh energy and enthusiastic anticipation for sizzling new styles and fantastic trends to try. And one thing's for sure: 2013 will be a dazzling one!

Just yesterday, color-matching company Pantone announced that emerald green will be the color of the year, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the news.

The striking jewel tone is ultra-flattering on all complexions and feels festive and fresh in any silhouette. Seriously!

If you haven't worn the rich shade just yet, we encourage you to give green a try. 

After all, we've long loved the gorgeous color and have spotted it on countless celebs like Katy Perry, Keira Knightley, Leighton Meester and Scarlett Johansson all season long.

This is one chic shade we're totally on board with.

Tell us what you think! Are you excited that emerald green is next year's hottest shade?
