2019 is in full swing, so you've likely introduced new habits into your routine for a brighter year ahead. With a few months left of winter winds and gloomy skies, why not infuse some extra color into your wardrobe, too? If you're looking for tips on how to pull off more vibrancy this year, start by taking notes on Meghan Markle's red coat and purple dress combo. On Mon., the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry made their first joint appearance of 2019, and Markle is clearly bringing her bold, modern elegance with her into the new year — but she's taking color up a notch.

The mom-to-be stepped out in Birkenhead, Merseyside to tour the town and meet with community organizations, and she wowed the crowds in a purple satin midi dress and a fire-red Sentaler wrap coat. Straying from her usual neutral and jewel-toned color palette, Markle made a serious case for mid-winter color blocking. These two eye-catching shades aren't the most common combination, but the Duchess' vivid look is proof that the unexpected color story is totally doable.

Markle didn't stop at shocking the crowds with her daring shade pairing, though. Letting fans in on another pleasant surprise, the Duchess revealed her due date for the first time. What better way to accompany the radiant color palette than with cheerful news?
