Swatches from Pantone, read press release here.

New York Fashion Week kicked off today, and with it will come new trends to covet, and a whole new color palette to organize our wardrobes around. How fabulous is the Pantone color palette for the spring 2024 season?! I am in LOVE!!!

Designers from New York favored beautiful, traditional spring hues as well as a few lighter versions of colors I consider fall-like. I love how Pantone showed off their swatches this season in an organized row, I feel like I can see the complimentary colors together in the perfect order.

I am always a sucker for shades of blue, green, and yellow. As it turns out, pink has faded away! Unless you consider “Desert Flower” in the pink family, then pink away! To me it is more of a coral, within the orange family, but feel free to discuss.

My favorite colors from the Pantone spring 2024 color palette are Mint, Capri, Pastel Lilac, Chambray Blue and Marlin. Start saving your coin! I have a feeling there will be a lot on my wish list, as well as yours, for the spring 2024 season; and the runways have barely begun! Yikes!

When it comes to neutrals, it looks like shades of grey and beige are trending for spring. The white hue is very bright! Make sure you keep some bleach on hand this spring season to keep those whites bright!

As you start to store your spring/summer apparel and accessories from 2023, you can use this color palette to help you choose what to keep, or what to sell or donate. The Pantone trend report is a great guide to use now as we store our warm weather wardrobes, as well as this upcoming spring season when we start to shop!

If you are a designer, you can purchase physical swatches directly from Pantone at Pantone.com.

Fall 2023 color trends from Pantone and NYFW

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!
