FASHION COLOR TREND GUIDE 2025

Color Combinations to Pin Up in Your Closet

In the world of fashion, the word “trend” has loosened its grip. It’s no longer a strict rulebook, but more of a guide for the curious—those who want to know what graced the runways and what’s set to hit the streets this season. Personally, I like to think of trends as little Post-it notes to stick near the wardrobe. Tiny sparks of inspiration that help us create new combinations, rediscover forgotten pieces, and see our clothes through fresh eyes—without necessarily buying something new.

Today, our closets are filled with pieces we love, and thankfully, the rigid rules of fashion’s past are long gone. Almost anything can be worn—as long as you know how to pair it, with the right details and contrasts. 2025 is the year colors take center stage, from subtle hues to bold statements. The keyword? Experimentation! Play with contrasts and let yourself be swept up in the vibrant energy these new tones offer. 

Candyfloss Pink

“I believe in pink,” said Audrey Hepburn with her trademark optimism. And in 2025, the runways seem to agree. Candyfloss pink—sweet and dreamy—has become one of the season’s hero shades. Once reserved for casualwear, it now appears in some of the most refined looks. So, let’s stop saving pink for special occasions or our nieces’ birthday parties. It’s time to embrace it in our daily lives. So let’s go get our daily dose of pink!

SUGGESTED COLOR COMBINATIONS:

  • PINK + OLIVE + BUTTER + LILAC: A blend of femininity and refinement. Pink brings a romantic, fresh touch; olive adds depth and understated elegance; butter lends creamy brightness; and lilac introduces a dreamy, retro note. Perfect for soft, sophisticated looks.

  • PINK + RUST + ACE ORANGE + BLACK: A combo full of character and warmth. Pink softens the boldness of rust and citrusy Ace orange, while black anchors the palette with intensity. The result? A bold, modern look for confident dressers.

  • PINK + WINE + GREY + EARTH: A warm and rich harmony. Pink lightens the richness of wine and earthy browns, while grey brings in a refined, neutral touch. A perfect balance of sweetness and depth for chic, polished outfits.

  • PINK + INDIGO + STRAWBERRY + MATCHA: A bold, offbeat palette. Pink and strawberry set a playful base, indigo offers contrast and depth, and matcha green adds an unexpected twist. Playful and standout.

Scarlet Red

Red like the forbidden fruit of Eden, red like raw, passionate energy. Scarlet red never truly leaves the fashion scene, but in 2025, it’s making a major statement. From intricate lace to sumptuous velvets, delicate satins to airy organza, scarlet red isn’t just the color of passion—it’s also the color of vitality. As Coco Chanel said, red is always a mood booster.

SUGGESTED COLOR COMBINATIONS:

  • RED + SAND + BUTTER + DENIM: A balance of passion and ease. Red's fire is softened by warm neutrals and casual denim—an elegant, wearable blend.

  • RED + WINE + OCHRE + PURPLE: Intense and rich, this palette evokes autumn sunsets and sophisticated vibes.

  • RED + BLACK + FOREST GREEN + PALLADIUM: Deep and commanding. The drama of red and black meets the elegance of dark green and the brilliance of palladium. A magnetic combo.

  • RED + PURPLE + EARTH + RASPBERRY: Bold and enveloping. Deep, velvety tones come together in a sensual, personality-packed mix.

Delicate Butter

Butter yellow: a soft neutral with a little extra something. Elegant and surprisingly versatile with bold shades, butter is one of the most refined tones of the season. It ties different styles together effortlessly and suits both summer and winter wardrobes. Butter is the perfect foundation for understated sophistication.

SUGGESTED COLOR COMBINATIONS:

  • BUTTER + GREY + SKY + PINK: A dreamy, serene palette that evokes a peaceful sunrise. Cloudy grey, sky blue, and soft pink glow gently beside buttery warmth.

  • BUTTER + PINE + TIFFANY + MOCHA: Naturally elegant. The deep pine green and fresh Tiffany blue contrast with warm butter and mocha tones for a refined, balanced look.

  • BUTTER + RUBY + CERULEAN + SMOKE: A sophisticated clash of contrasts. Ruby and cerulean bring intensity; butter and smoky grey mellow things out for a rich, harmonious effect.

  • BUTTER + OCHRE + CARROT + KHAKI: A burst of autumnal tones. Ochre and carrot add warmth and energy; butter and khaki soften it into an earthy, balanced ensemble.

Tangerine à Gogo

Vibrant and bold, tangerine orange bursts onto the scene as a radiant alternative to pastel palettes. It lights up every season with its unmistakable energy. Tangerine thrives in daring combinations, especially with accessories and accents. It’s not just a summer fling—it’s a way to energize every look with joy and zest.

SUGGESTED COLOR COMBINATIONS:

  • ORANGE + NAVY + PINK + OCHRE: A mix of energy and elegance. Orange’s spark is grounded by navy, softened by pink, and warmed by ochre. Balanced and timeless.

  • ORANGE + EARTH + MATCHA + FOREST: A nature-inspired palette. Earthy warmth from orange and browns meets the freshness of matcha and deep forest green. Organic and harmonious.

  • ORANGE + LIME + PURPLE + BLACK: Bold and eye-catching. Electric lime and bright orange clash brilliantly with dramatic purple and strong black. For fearless fashion statements.

  • ORANGE + LAGOON + CARIBBEAN + STRAW: A sun-drenched, seaside-inspired combo. Orange plunges into aquatic blues, while straw yellow brings a laid-back, beachy vibe.

Milk & Mint

T

Among the most popular pastels, mint green softened with milky white is one of the freshest, most refined shades of 2025.

SUGGESTED COLOR COMBINATIONS:

  • MILK MINT + GREY + BUTTER + RUBY: A refined mix of cool freshness and warm passion. Calm yet impactful.

  • MILK MINT + RED + SAND + WHITE: Bright and breezy. Mint forms a light, fresh base; red adds energy, sand brings in natural ease, and white keeps it all crisp and clean.

  • MILK MINT + LIME + CARIBBEAN + OCHRE: A tropical burst of freshness and warmth. Bright lime and mint blend with sea-inspired blues and earthy ochre for a vibrant, carefree vibe.

  • MILK MINT + STRAW + STRAWBERRY + OLIVE: Relaxed and lively. Mint and straw create a soft backdrop, strawberry adds sweetness, and olive brings depth. Balanced and elegant.

So here’s my guide to SS25: a curated selection of the season’s standout shades and some color combos to try out.

 

Happy experimenting!

Grazie mille, davvero interessante e di ispirazione. Accostamenti audaci ma funzionanti, peccato che nelle palette dell’arancio sono stati inseriti le palette del rosa.
