Pantone Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer

Soft, effortless, and endlessly wearable, Cloud Dancer has officially emerged as this year’s go-to neutral. Could Cloud Dancer be the new black? This off-white tone feels fresh without being boring, making it an easy addition to any wardrobe, and it is already appearing in stores throughout Rosedale Center.

During a recent Twin Cities Live segment, stylist Leslie Firkins shared how to style Cloud Dancer, highlighting both its versatility and its ability to create a chic monochromatic look. On air, Leslie noted that Cloud Dancer is very much a color in its own right, and that shades like this allow the eye to rest while still feeling intentional and elevated.

Saeteesh wore an Evereve sweater bomber jacket paired with an Express blouse and Evereve denim, finished with a purse from Anthropologie. Jess was styled in Lululemon trousers with Sorel tennis shoes from Von Maur, along with a bag and sherpa button-up jacket from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Nick wore an Express denim jacket and tech pants, layered with a hoodie from Lululemon.

What makes Cloud Dancer stand out is its flexibility. Unlike many colors, it pairs effortlessly with nearly everything, including bolder accessories like Saeteesh’s pant loop brooch, allowing an outfit to move easily from casual to polished. Whether layered into everyday looks or worn head to toe for a monochromatic moment, Cloud Dancer feels timeless while still being right on trend.
