6 Colors Everyone Will Wear This Spring, According to a Pantone Expert

The spring season is just around the corner— a time when we meet the longer days with a hopeful post-winter spirit—and this year, we feel a sense of freedom on the horizon.
Sartorially speaking, there is plenty to look forward to this upcoming season, including a plethora of trends to suit every taste and budget. Today, I'm honing in on one of my favorite subjects—colors—and what hues are about to delight us for the spring/summer season ahead.
To get more insight on the colors that will be dominating, I tapped into Pantone Color Institute's Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman to share the most popular colors for spring 2021, which we've already spotted all over the S/S 21 collections. "This spring we're seeing colors that will give us an instant refresh and a jolt of energy," explains Eiseman. A boost most of us will welcome with open arms as we slowly maneuver out of a difficult past year.
Below, she shares six Pantone colors (including Pantone's color of the year) that you can expect to see everywhere this spring. Keep scrolling to shop our favorite picks in each hue. We guarantee you'll find something that hits your eye just right.
