The Pantone color trends for the fall/winter 2023/2024 season are here! Although we are still ramping up for the spring season, the fall color trends can help guide us when we look into purchasing items which are investments throughout the year, such as accessories, sweater, jackets, pants, and more!

I love how the upcoming fall color trends are anything but traditional. We see the color of 2023, which is Viva Magenta, and we also see bright colors from the warmer side of the color wheel. Green has been popular lately, thanks for Bottega Veneta, and it looks like versions of periwinkle are still going strong. Love that!

We can also look for cheery hues with yellow, and a surprisingly spring-like hue with peach! Who would have thought about peach for fall??? Groundbreaking!

When it comes to neutral hues, classic navy, winter white, and chocolate brown are in play for the fall and winter seasons as well as a spring-like grey and beige. These neutral hues are offering both warm and cool options, which should play well with whichever color palette we choose to wear in the fall.

What do you think of the fall/winter 2023/2024 color palette? Next week I will clue you in on all the hottest trends from the New York Fashion Week runways for fall/winter 2023/2024!

The color of 2023 is here! Pantone announced last week that the new color of the year for 2023 is “Viva Magenta.” This saturated hue combines pink and red to create a color found in nature that we can all love.

There are many variations of Viva Magenta in fashion as move into 2023. We will have choices between shades of pink and red, as well as shades of magenta. There will be a lot of choices from this color family. So, if Magenta isn’t your thing, but you love more of a true red or pink, you’re in luck! Your color will be out there!

I found a few fabulous items around the web in shades of magenta to kick off the new color of the year. I hope you love them!

How do you plan to wear Viva Magenta? I have my eyes on that sweater shown above, and I have a scarf I plan to put back into circulation. It is such a pretty color!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy Viva Magenta!

It is New York Fashion Week, and fashion month season! The spring/summer 2023 collections are starting to grace the runways, and a whole new color palette is coming our way. Love!

Last spring/summer, we enjoyed brighter colors, and playful hues which made it from the runways to the streets. The spring 2023 season is no different. Designers are opting for bright and playful colors in their collection, which will ultimately make it to the streets, and give us a happy, bright future. Love that!

Not into bright hues? That is not a problem! Designers are moving away from dark neutrals and looking for soft grey, soft brown, and few pastels to balance out the bright hues. When spring arrives, you can store your dark neutrals, your black (gasp!), and anything on the darker side in favor of bright colors, and select pastel hues. The spring and summer seasons will be bright, playful, and not-too-serious. Are you ready? I am!

Are you hesitating about the Barbiecore trend? There is a bright pink named “Beetroot Purple” in the spring color palette, so it appears that this cheeky hue will continue into 2023. So don’t be afraid to rock shades of bright pink now and into 2023. This color will stick around for awhile!

A few fall items in hues from the spring/summer 2023 color trends report:
