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 trends from NYFW

The last model has walked off the fall/winter 2023/2024 runway in New York, and we are left with continuing trends, as well as a few new ones. So get ready!

The fall 2023 season is looking a little bit brighter, and also giving consumers celebratory styles to covet in the next cool weather season. Designers opted for bright hues, sparkling fabrics, cold shoulder necklines, asymmetrical and dramatic hemlines, power suiting, menswear inspiration, and looks which really show off all the work we have been doing at the gym. Get those abs of steel people!

It doesn’t matter how cold the weather gets; you better be showing off those abs next season! Designers are showing all sorts of cut outs, low waistlines, and cropped styles. Make sure you don’t skip Pilates class, because your abs will be on full display next fall.

Classic black and white combos graced the majority of the runways for the fall/winter 2023/2024 as well as all-black ensembles. In contrast, bright hues from all over the rainbow also graced the NYFW runways. Look for solid, tonal looks in bright hues you would expect in the spring or summer, not the fall. Be bright! For the more popular hues, check out the top ten from Pantone.

Not in the mood to suffer through high heels and a dress? Yeah, I feel ya. The feminine tuxedo is back! This trend is fabulous. It evokes power, plus, you can make multiple outfits with one tuxedo. Invest in one; especially if you go out a lot. Love it!

Metallics are still hot! Next fall, you will find shiny fabrics, sparkling fabrications, and metallic handbags. You can add a shiny blazer over another outfit for an understated look, or go full head-to-toe metallic. How bright do you want to be?

In addition to the five trends featured in these photos, also look for more oversized bags; we shall see if consumers pick up this trend, so far, it’s a no-go. Also watch for more small satchels; in the fall you will see more kitschy shapes instead of classic lady bag silhouettes. Also, faux and real leather, as well as faux fur, puffy coats, and statement coats. Of course, let’s not forget shoes! The square toe is coming back, so watch for square toes; you will already see them on store shelves now. Start investing!

What do you think of the trends coming in for the fall/winter 2023/2024 season?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

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!
