The color trends from the New York Fashion Week runways are here! We are starting to see more color going down the runways in addition to the neutral hues designers and consumers have been favoring over the past few years. This signals a trend towards re-adding color to our wardrobes. Love that!

The colors from NYFW for the fall/winter 2026/2027 season are offering a mix of traditional autumn hues and spring/summer shades. I love seeing “Neptune” and “All Aboard” mixed in with autumn colors such as “Red Mahogany” and “Burnt Olive.” This gives us leeway next fall to really play with the colors we choose to wear.

The top five neutral colors are also a mix in vivid, classic colors which play well together and also mixed with the vivid top ten hues from the runway. Love it!

The spring/summer 2026 color palette from Pantone for New York Fashion Week features the colors designers used the most in their runway collections. What do you think? A little unexpected, yes?

The spring 2026 season is all about self-expression and fusing together maximalist and minimalist color palettes. This fusion of styles creates a wheel of colors which are definable. As I look at these top ten colors from the runways, and the corresponding neutrals, I see chaos.

While Marina and Muskmelon have a spring/summer vibe, the other hues evoke a fall feeling. I am not seeing a traditional spring/summer season in fashion, but one of transition. The past few seasons have offered a timeless, classic vibe. We have seen more traditional color palettes. Now, as we move towards 2026, the colors are trying to find themselves and this could signal a future shift later in the year away from simple and chic style. Let’s see what the runways tell us as we move through the year.

In the meantime, shop your closet for these colors and move them forward. Things are about to get colorful next year!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more upcoming spring 2026 coverage!

New York Fashion Week is underway, and once again, I will be watching and covering the shows from home. Don’t you love technology? I no longer have to brave the elements, insane New York traffic, and stand all day to cover the shows. I can do this from the comfort of my own home. My feet are so happy. Love that!

To kick off the fall/winter 2025/25 shows, Pantone has announced the top colors for the fall/winter 2025/25 season hot off the New York Fashion Week runways. Love!

Isn’t it romantic? There is already a romantic vibe just from the color palette alone. Shades of pink and red are dominating the color palette for the fall 2025 season, with multiple shades of mocha. Thankfully, a couple hues from the blue family are thrown in for this blue fan here.

Brown is more than the new black, it is a dominant color family we can wear head to toe. Keep investing in mocha hues!

This color palette is a no brainer. Berry hues and mocha hues for fall. Love this!

Here are a few berry and mocha hues you can invest in, and wear now.
