Color authority Pantone Inc. announced its pick of the year for 2013: emerald green. The opulent hue stands-out against the earthy desert landscape and sparks conversation at spring events like La Quinta Arts Festival and Fashion Week El Paseo. Snag these styles for a fashion-forward 2013:

Trina Turk Boutique’s Triston Trouser from the Mr. Turk collection dares him to show off his flashy side. Wear these pants with a neutral cashmere sweater and a pair of aviator shades for a breezy, effortless spring ensemble. For her, accessorize a simple sheath with Turk’s resin emerald bangle. The glossy green band is a dynamic statement piece.
