We have been longing to wear 2025's spring summer fashion trends since we first spotted them strutting down the runway last September. Unfortunately, the weather forecast hasn't quite aligned. Temperatures have remained firmly in the single digits, forcing our hot pants and floaty, sheer layers to wait in the wardrobe a little while longer.
No worries, because for those looking to instantly update their outfits with a fresh, 2025 take, there's an easy way to do so. With colour! The SS25 runways were awash with a number of eye-catching hues from powder pink to butter yellow and sky blue. But along with spring's penchant for pastels, neutral shades of tan (hello Pantone's colour of the year, mocha mousse) along with seasonal surprises like silver were also spotted in abundance.
Whether you add a colourful injection to an ensemble through your accessories or break away from your go-to palette of neutrals (we'll admit we're guilty of wearing only black, white and blue on repeat) with a statement piece, make sure it's in one of these seven key tones. Keep scrolling for the best and biggest colour trends to wear in 2025.
Butter Yellow
If you have yet to invest in anything butter yellow, what have you been waiting for? It is officially the colour of spring 2025, co-signed by Chanel, Chloé, Toteme and 16Arlington to name just a few. While specific shades range slightly, the key to nailing the look is sticking firmly in vanilla, almost cream, territory. You'll be surprised just how flattering this hue is for all skin tones.
Powder Pink
Pink, in all its varying tones, has been a mainstay on the fashion agenda for the past few seasons now, but for SS25 it's all about a pale, pastel, powder pink colourway. Don't let overt feminine connotations put you off, you can style this colour in masculine silhouettes for a high-fashion contrast per Brandon Maxwell, Khaite, Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, Balmain, Ferragamo and Jil Sander.
Mocha Mousse
We've been living in luxurious chocolate brown hues all winter long, and the colour is set to go nowhere in 2025. But, if you're looking to update your look for spring, simply opt for lighter tones of tan, caramel and you guessed it, mocha. Miu Miu, Saint Laurent and Hermès for styling notes.
Sky Blue
Blue skies are what we're all longing for, so why not do a little manifesting via your wardrobe? That certainly seems to be what a number of fashion houses were doing as baby blue emerged as the must-have hue on the SS25 runways at Acne, Stella McCartney and Jason Wu.
Burgundy
It's not all about pastels in spring. Burgundy is another colour that's been on our radar for a while now, but this season it is well and truly coming into its own. Warmer than black but less in your face than tomato red, it's the perfect in-between shade. Isabel Marant, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Jil Sander and Bottega Veneta confirm it.
Silver
No, metallics aren't just for Christmas party dresses and sequin skirts! Switch that chunky knit jumper for a simple white tee and sandals and you're good to go. Or, to make it truly daytime, take your styling cues from Rabanne, Dior and Prada who paired silver frocks with clashing sports luxe outerwear for a high-low combination we can get behind.
Spring Green
It's a scientific fact that the human eye sees more shades of green than any other colour, and that's certainly true of the SS25 runways. While Zimmermann opted for muddy tones of khaki, Erdem pulled from the other end of the spectrum to debut sea foam hues. Our favourite green, however, is a bright, zingy spring green as seen at Elie Saab, Valentino and Victoria Beckham.
