Naturally, as the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, the season’s color trends invite a richer, more decadent palette into our wardrobes, often stemming directly from the runways. The fall/winter 2025 color trends capture the season’s duality of bold self-expression and cozy warmth.

But it’s not all net-new: several colors from spring/summer 2025 are still going strong. The wispy, powdery blush that evolved from 2023’s Barbie pink remains relevant for fall. A rich, chocolate-y brown (coined by Pantone as “Mocha Mousse”) also maintains a strong presence this season with many designers, from Fendi to Saint Laurent, opting for tonal suiting and unexpected pairings—alongside pale greens and purples seen at Prada and Gucci. Siren red holds fast, popping up in full looks at Fforme and Acne Studios, but also as striking flashes at Ferragamo and Tod’s.
Even those who prefer to abstain from color can still find ways to incorporate trending hues into their day-to-day rotations. Slime green works as a neutral in itself, and the same can be said for the sea of blues dominating the collections—from pastels to cobalt—which work easily with whites, creams, beiges, and browns. Below, we break down the defining fall/winter 2025 color trends—and the pieces to purchase to stay in the know.
Powder Pink
Pink continues to retain a light touch. Strong yet girly—this pink has spanned Khaite, Alaïa, Miu Miu, and Loewe. This softer, more delicate shade is endlessly versatile, appearing in both feminine and modern styles, from romantic dresses to structured tailoring.
Chili Pepper Red
We’re gearing up for yet another siren red fall and winter. The vibrant maraschino hue was spotted in striking, head-to-toe monochromatic looks from a plethora of designers, like Altuzarra, Calvin Klein, Ashlyn, Christopher John Rogers, Fforme, Acne Studios and Sergio Hudson. The best part? It can easily be worn with black and white for a bold statement, or tempered against grey and navy.
Mocha Brown
Every year, Pantone declares the color of the next 12 months ahead; a hue to define the mood and set the tone, if you will. For 2025, it’s a subdued kind of chocolate brown, aptly named mocha mousse. Give it a go with Prada’s pajama-style shirt, Gucci’s suede shoulder bag, or Khaite’s Western-inspired Clive boot.
Shades of Blue
In 2025, blue is trending in assorted shades, providing a blend of tranquility and tenderness. Key shades include icy blues, cobalt, and cyan. These tints are universal, varying from faint and serene to decadent and assertive, and they can be styled in many ways for a contemporary yet traditional look.
Slime Green
Not quite forest, nor full-on Brat Summer, this version of lime green rivals that of Tom Ford’s Fall 2018 runway show. The key to wearing it? Use it as a grounding neutral among beige, black, brown, and white.
Electric Aubergine
For the person who prefers their fall/winter colors as dark as the season’s essence, this one is for you. Electric purple showed up on the runway in a draped top at Dries Van Noten, a backless gown at Colleen Allen, and button-up blouses at Tom Ford. Go head-to-toe and wear Khaite’s Keefe top with a pair of satin Dries trousers, or use it as a punchy statement separately.
