spring 2027 color trends

Spring 2027 is heading down the runway and Pantone has released the hottest colors we will see in the new year. As you can see, the color trends for spring 2027 are shifting. The hues are vivid, cheerful, and traditionally spring/summer. Love that!

There is starting to be a shift away from an all-neutral look to color mixing. The shift is giving us color blocking, tonal looks, and mixing colors in an unexpected way for spring. Instead of bold prints, the transition from mixed neutrals is mixed colors. You no longer need to pair blue with grey or black, you can pair it with lavender, pink, or any color you’re in the mood for. This upcoming spring 2027 season will give us colorful options and combos, so get ready!

The top five neutral hues are pushing the boundaries of neutral. Blue Indigo offer a blue-grey look instead of a traditional navy for spring. Antique white offers variety since it can be paired with any combination of hues. Of course, Dolphin can be any grey you already have in your wardrobe from past seasons, so you’ll be able to shop your closet for that hue! Look for these five colors when investing in neutrals for spring, they will give you an easy backdrop for styling your looks.

Pantone recognized three standout colors for the spring/summer 2027 season. Princess Blue, Lavender Oil, and Rosy Future. Look for these colors to explode in popularity in the new year.

Which colors are your favorites? I love Rosy Future, Waterfall, and Antique White. I will be watching store shelves for these colors so I can add them to my wardrobe! They would make beautiful nail polish colors too!

Visiting the Legion of Honor Etruscans exhibit

Ah! We finally made it to the Etruscans exhibit at the Legion of Honor! I’ve wanted to see this exhibit for months, but the summer season was sooooo busy and slightly chaotic, we never made it! It was so nice to catch it before it goes away on September 20. If you are local, and have not seen it yet, please try to see it before it’s gone!

As someone with Italian ancestors, I was fascinated by the exhibit. It was amazing to see artwork and artifacts from the Etruscans up close. The Legion of Honor also had an informative video which was jam-packed with information. Be sure to watch the video before wandering into the exhibit!

In case you are not familiar with the Legion of Honor, it has two main floors. The bottom floor has the rotating exhibits and the permanent collection is usually housed on the main floor. Of course, things can change! I recommend getting the annual pass so you can keep returning to see the rotating exhibits. It also works for the deYoung too. Love that!

You can learn more about the Legion of Honor on their website at famsf.org.

Pro tip: Arrive by 9:30am when the museum opens for easy parking. You can grab a delicious cappuccino inside the museum cafe, plus dessert or meals. Yum!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the exhibit!

Shoe capsule wardrobe fall 2026

Fall shoe capsule wardrobe from top left: charcoal boots / suede high heels / chocolate brown flats / black boots c/o Ally / chocolate brown kitten heels / black flats /

I love fall shoes! My shoe capsule wardrobe for fall 2026 is filled with suede, autumn hues, and comfortable footwear. Love that!

Arch support is extremely important, so I have been sticking with shoes I can walk in and also provide arch support. Five out of the six pairs shown above provide arch support whether through built-in arches or heel height. While the brown flats don’t have arch support, they are still comfortable.

These suede high heels are complete game changers. The arch support allows me to walk for miles, stand for long periods of time, and wear them all day without pain. Since they are the stars of my high heel wardrobe, I recently picked up a second pair by Ally; these black boots for fall.

Ally is fast becoming one of my favorite footwear brands. All of their shoes have arch support and are made for walking, standing, and wearing for long periods of time. They are perfect for the office, attending events, and more. I am in love! I plan on adding more of their shoes to my collection over time. They are timeless styles, so definitely investment purchases! Love!

Discount code for Ally shoes: CATHY10 can save you 10% on your purchase. Love that!

Lonza is also fast becoming a new favorite. While their shoes don’t provide built-in arch support, they are comfortable and well-made, as well as affordable. I love their trendier styles. These kitten heels are amazing! Use code CATHY15 to save 15% off your purchase!

Of course, my fall shoe capsule also includes staples from my closet such as these black flats and charcoal boots. I love footwear which stands the test of time.
