Spring’s Freshest Hues
The Colors Taking Over This Season
As the world wakes up from winter’s gray slumber, spring arrives like a well-dressed guest—bold, effortless, and full of energy. This season’s color palette is a perfect mix of pastels that whisper romance and brights that demand attention. Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe or just add a subtle pop, these hues will be everywhere in the coming months. Consider this your guide to the colors that will define spring—and how to wear them.
Soft & Sweet: The Pastels
Peach Fuzz (Pantone’s Color of the Year 2024)
Like the golden hour glow bottled into a color, Peach Fuzz is warm, inviting, and universally flattering. It’s the perfect shade for flowy dresses, silky camis, and feminine blazers. Think of it as the color equivalent of a fresh, dewy glow.
Sky Blue
Crisp, airy, and as refreshing as the first warm day of the season, sky blue is the ultimate springtime neutral. Whether in a structured linen blazer or a breezy sundress, this color brings an instant sense of calm and effortless style.
Lavender Haze
Soft yet powerful, lavender continues to reign as the pastel of choice. Perfect for monochrome dressing, this dreamy hue pairs beautifully with crisp whites, pale yellows, or even a punch of electric green for contrast.
Bold & Bright: The Showstoppers
Coral Red
Vibrant yet wearable, coral red is the color of confidence. Whether you embrace it in a sleek midi dress or just a pop on your lips, this fiery shade makes any outfit feel intentional and exciting.
Electric Green
This is the color for the boldest among us. A structured green mini dress, statement earrings, or even a handbag in this shade instantly gives any outfit a high-fashion edge.
Butter Yellow
Not quite pastel, not quite neon—this sunny shade is the perfect in-between. A butter yellow cardigan over a white sundress? Perfection. Strappy heels in this hue? A dream. It’s a color that plays well with others while still standing on its own.
The Unexpected Neutral: Soft Olive
For those who love a more grounded color palette, soft olive is this season’s fresh take on neutrals. It pairs beautifully with nearly anything—white, denim, even peach fuzz—making it an easy choice for layering. A silky slip dress in this shade? Chic. A structured blazer? Effortlessly cool.
COLOR TREND TAKEAWAY
“Spring color trends should feel like an extension of your personality—whether that means leaning into soft, romantic hues or making a statement with something bold and unexpected.”
