If there’s one thing I love about a new season, it’s the colour refresh it brings.
Nothing signals the arrival of spring quite like the shift in palette—those first bursts of vibrant hues and soft pastels after months of moody winter tones. Colour has the unique ability to set the mood for the months ahead, and this season's shades are already promising an exciting mix of bold statements and understated elegance.
Whilst we might still be reaching for our heavier layers and neutral staples, knowing what’s coming in the world of colour puts you ahead of the curve. The spring/summer 2025 runways were awash with inspiring tones, from high-impact brights to more muted, versatile variations. And whilst some of these colours might feel a little premature as we still navigate cooler days, they offer endless styling potential for the transitional weeks ahead.
For me, the joy of analysing colour trends lies in their transformative power. A single pop of a trending shade can completely revive your capsule wardrobe—whether that’s through a statement dress, a jacket to wear with jeans, an unexpected accessory or even a fresh approach to layering. This season’s key colours promise to do just that, bringing vibrancy, sophistication and a sense of playfulness to our everyday dressing.
So, which fashionable colours are set to define spring 2025? Let’s take a closer look.
