Well, the color trends for fall/winter 2022/2023 are all over the place! Normally when the NYFW color trends come out, we have some sort of theme, vibe, and/or order to the top ten colors and top five neutral hues. Not this season!

Designers seem divided between traditional autumn hues, and bright summer shades. There is even a spring pink thrown into the mix. The neutrals evoke a resort vibe mixed with dark spring. According to Pantone, this color palette is a mix which represents rest and relaxation, as well as “non-conforming exuberant expression.” Well, I agree with that last part!

Bright colors are popular for the spring/summer 2022 seasons. So, they will be a great transition in early fall when temperatures are still warm. Instead of purchasing transitional pieces, we can layer up our summer wardrobe! Love that!

On the other hand, I have to wonder if we will be ready for a new color palette by the end of summer. If we rock brights during the spring and summer months, will we still crave them in the fall? I guess only time will tell. Otherwise, I have to say, I am excited about the autumn hues, and the darker colors from this palette. While I love brights, I plan to wear them a lot this spring and summer, so we shall see how I feel in August and September! What do you think?

A few bright hues to invest in now:

The last model has walked off the runway in New York, and the last video has been released. This means we have a whole new set of fabulous trends to covet for the upcoming spring/summer 2022 season. Love!

There are several trends from last year which appear to be continuing into 2022. We are looking at the continuation of the Power Suit, vivid colors, all-white ensembles, exaggerated shoulders, shoulder pads, and wide leg pants.

As we head into 2022, look for more tailoring on clothing in general. Loungewear is taking a backseat, as is urban street-wear. We are looking at getting dressed again. Think skirts, dresses, and powerful pants. Handbags are medium to small, and will hold only the necessities.

The decades of influence include the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Think late1900s. There will be grown-up florals, groundbreaking right? haha, and solid, all-one-hue ensembles. Orange, baby blue and pink appear to be the favorite hues of New York designers for spring/summer 2022. The orange power suit will be huge, HUGE!!!

We are also looking forward to daytime sequins, one-shoulder looks, blazers over anything, and much more structure than we have seen in recent seasons; even with wider leg pants. Get ready to dress up!

So, if you are looking at what to keep, store, donate, or sell from your closet, keep and store anything structured, or in brighter hues. Keep blazers, one-shoulder looks, and sequins. Donate extra loungewear, you only need some, not a closet full! Same with sweatpants, only keep what you need for the gym or wearing around the house. Next spring, casual days will include jeans with blazers and casual dresses. Sweatpants and flip-flops can stay home. That being said, look for comfort sandals and street sneakers paired with dresses and dress pants in spring 2022. Your feet can stay happy.

Thanks for stopping by!

New York Fashion Week is underway! This means new and fabulous trends to covet for the upcoming spring/summer 2022 season. On the first day of New York Fashion Week every season, Pantone releases their color report which features the top colors from the runways in New York. Of course, they are always fabulous.

The spring 2022 season looks to remain bright, but maybe not as bright, as spring 2021. Designers are favoring vivid hues as well as breezy shades of neutrals. It looks like the perfect season to go pastel one day, and vivid the next! Love!

I am a huge blue fan. These shades of blue are getting me excited for a new wardrobe in the spring season. I will definitely need one! Not only is the stay-at-home thing over, if you have been following along, you know I lost thirty pounds this year. So, a new wardrobe next spring will be in order.

My two favorite colors from the spring/summer 2022 color palette are “Glacier Lake” and Harbor Blue.” Which colors are your favorites?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
