After spending weeks (and I say that without a hint of exaggeration) researching 2025's biggest fashion trends, I think it's safe to say my mind is firmly fixed on the horizon, for now I know all of the delights that await us for the new season. While some pieces will have to wait for temperatures to shift to make them viable outfit contenders, one thing that we can all consider when trying to make our outfits feel more 2025 is colour.
Colour is one of the easiest and quickest ways to hit a style refresh. If, like me, you tend to favour a neutral palette, then imagine the impact that switching in a bright or, at the very least, sugary colour will have on how you present yourself and how others see you.
This idea becomes especially impactful now, where many of us find ourselves reaching for darker pieces that mirror what's changing outside. And while colours like black, navy and brown can look elegant year round, there's something to be said for adding an unexpected shade into the mix.
Looking at 2025's palette, one thing is clear—pastels are at the heart of it. There's a joy and playfulness to the season which this pretty spectrum captures. So, press pause for a moment and take in the six biggest fashion colour trends of 2025, which I've assembled for you below.
6 Fashion Colour Trends That Have Shaped 2025 So Far
1. Barely Butter
Style Notes: Let's ease ourselves in, shall we? All across the runway, we saw shades of very, very light yellow—so pale they looked like cream in some lights—take over as the new neutral of note. Where beige and brown will always be chic, this shade of buttery yellow will instantly make your outfits feel fresh and shiny.

Wear this with tailored trousers now, and throw over your shoulders on warmer days.
Such an elegant shape.
Simple, but so very effective.
2. Candy Pink
Style Notes: While burgundy will ultimately dominate autumn/winter, there's just as much mileage in pale pink tones, too. Easily the most predominant shade on the 2025 runways earlier this year, soft powder pink is set to continue its reign into the second half of the year, too.

Between the colour and the cut, this dress is so beautiful.
The low heel will ensure all-day comfort.
I love this with the matching top.
3. Sky Blue
Style Notes: The ultimate palate cleanser, this invigorating blue tone is a sharp contrast to the moody shades that will take hold in the coming months. The sheer volume of it on the runways tells me that designers are resounding in their message—that 2025 is the year to let joy in. And what a stylish way to do so.

Cosy and chic.
Isn't the draped detail stunning?
How sweet is this?
4. Silver Spectrum
Style Notes: One of the biggest colour comebacks of the past few seasons has to be silver. The metallic tone had long fallen out of favour to gold (and, for a minute, rose gold). After a tentative return via jewellery, silver is now bursting onto the 2025 fashion scene, covering everything from trousers and jackets, as well as more expected items such as dresses and shoes.

Footwear is a great way to incorporate silver into your wardrobe.
Wear with trainers, ballet pumps or slingback heels.
For those looking for a truly fabulous way to wear silver.
5. Warm Tan
Style Notes: The colour brown has left a permanent and very elegant mark on fashion, so don't worry, it's definitely going to stick around for the rest of 2025. If, however, you'd like to see an update to the chocolate brown hues that have been everywhere for a while, then look no further than the rusty tans we're seeing come through now. Just as expensive looking yet lighter feeling, I expect to see this colour sweeping through brands early in the season.

Funnel-neck coats will be a key autumn/winter 2025 trend.
Suede is also a huge trend for 2025.
A welcome change from denim.
6. Seafoam Green
Style Notes: Seafoam green is the understated yet no-less-captivating colour trend that I'm expecting to see much more soon. This muted tone feels relaxed yet sophisticated, perfect for those who love a more grounded palette. From flowing dresses to relaxed cardigans, seafoam is extremely versatile and works well with both light neutrals and deeper tones—personally, I love it with burgundy.

The perfect wedding guest dress.
Pair this with a shirt in a contrasting colour, like chocolate brown.
