Pantone’s Top 10 NYFW Fashion Color Trends For Spring 2025

Can you believe it’s already 2025? Time has a way of moving faster the older we get, doesn’t it? But as spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to freshen up our wardrobes with some new colors. We’ve already talked about some of the most flattering (and not-so-flattering) fashion trends for women over 50, but what about the color trends for Spring 2025?

Pantone®—the global authority on color—released their predictions for the top color trends for Spring/Summer 2025 prior to New York Fashion Week (NYFW) back in September. And after taking a good look, we can confidently say that these colors will work for women of all ages, especially those of us who’ve gained a little wisdom and style over the years!

What’s Trending for Spring 2025?

From vibrant greens and blues to soft neutrals and earthy tones, these colors evoke a sense of harmony and timelessness. The colors for Spring / Summer 2025 are rooted, yet dynamic. They reflect a desire for authenticity, joyful individualism and optimism.

This soft, cool blue is serene and calming—perfect for those who want a peaceful, elegant look. It pairs beautifully with neutrals, offering a subtle but chic contrast.

How to Wear Pantone’s Spring Colors Over 50

These colors aren’t just for the runway—they can easily be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe, too! Here are a few tips for embracing the Spring 2025 color trends as a woman over 50.

Mix neutrals with pops of color: If you tend to lean toward classic neutrals, try adding one of these Pantone shades as an accent. A Lime Cream blouse or a pair of Crocus-colored pants can add just the right touch of brightness without overwhelming your look.
Choose the right fabric: Light, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen and silk are perfect for these colors, making them feel fresh and wearable for spring.
Accessorize with bold hues: If you’re not ready to dive into a full outfit of vibrant colors, start small by adding accessories in shades like Deja Vu Blue or Misted Marigold. A bag, necklace or scarf in these hues will immediately update your look for Spring 2025.
Play with layers: Layering different shades from this color trend palette can create a sophisticated look that feels effortlessly chic. For example, try pairing a soft Limpet Shell blouse with a structured Bran jacket for a chic mix of light and dark tones.
