10 Biggest Fashion Color Trends for AW 2024

 

As a new season approaches, also do a wave of oncoming color trends set to hit our closets. From the runways of Prada and Saint Laurent to influences from the ’90s and beyond, there are plenty of interesting color combinations with a modern twist that may just blow your mind. Classic combinations and unique interpretations flooded the streets of New York, Paris, Milan, and London, so if you want to break a few fashion rules and experiment with color theory, you’re in luck. Here are the biggest color trends from Autumn/Winter Fashion Weeks.

 

1. Beige and White

While many are embracing maximalism, the underlying elegance of neutrals remains a huge trend for fashion lovers. Blending beige and white is a comforting and warm combination, perfect for both cool and warm months. A light linen dress with a tan trench coat is the perfect transitional outfit for unpredictable temperatures, and when the mercury drops, put on a beige sweater and light-colored trousers for an off-duty and effortless aesthetic. Your accessories should be kept to a minimum with this duochrome palette, stick to tonal and metallic pieces to keep the harmony flowing.

2. Black and White

A staple in any fashion lover’s wardrobe, the humble black and white ensemble has the power to adapt to any occasion throughout the entire year. Timeless and versatile, a stylish outfit can include something as simple as a pair of flared black trousers and a white tailored blazer or a ruched white dress with black embellishments. It’s not just the garments that complete the ensemble – a pair of sheer black tights and heels are an easy way to elevate your fit and take it from day to night.

3. Blush

From Prada to Tory Burch, the return of blush pink has dominated the runways and fashion weeks this season. Be it a flowing chiffon dress or a laser cut-out top and skirt, this soft and feminine shade is the ultimate choice as we enter the warmer months. Pair this with similar shades, like baby pink, white, and cream. They don’t have to match exactly—a tonal look is more dimensional and complex, and you can play with texture if you prefer to steer clear of accessories. And who could forget the coquette aesthetic? This is the best place to start if you want to dip your toes into the trend, just don’t forget to add a few bows to your hair!

4. Cherry Red and Maroon

It’s no secret that cherry red has taken command this season, and we’re loving every second of it. Thanks to its versatility, you can pair it with a deeper hue like maroon and create a stunning outcome. While it’s often a color reserved for evening events or romantic occasions, adding a deeper tone into the mix can help create a more casual and laidback feel. Try a red dress with a maroon coat, or combine a top and skirt in the matching hue and complete an outfit with a deep red belt and boots. You can work it in the inverse too, by rocking dark trousers and sweaters and saving all your bright shades for your accessories, such as a vibrant handbag or slinky mules.

5. Maroon and Black

From a bright shade of red to something a little more mysterious, this is the perfect color combination for cooler months. This shade has been hugely popular among the likes of Gucci, Versace, and Saint Laurent, adapted by fashion lovers in the form of deep red stockings and black Mary Janes, oversized blazers, and chunky black boots. While we recommend keeping these two colors together as a strict duochrome ensemble, if you want to add another shade, stick to neutrals like white or cream – this creates dimension rather than throwing everything off.

6. Shades Of Green

It’s been a while since we’ve seen shades of green in the style circles, but as fashion is a cyclical world, and thanks to designers like Loewe, Ferragamo, and Fendi, it’s no surprise to see the stunning color back in the forefront. Suiting and tailoring is the perfect way to interpret this shade during cooler months, but nothing says sleek quite like a figure-hugging dress with a pair of knee boots. We suggest keeping the top and bottom half the same tone to elongate your limbs and create the illusion of a taller silhouette, but you can go wild with your accessories. Silver and gold work well with this color, meaning you can experiment with jewelry and hardware-accented handbags.

7. Silver And White 

As far as cool goes, silver and white are the ultimate pairing. This effortlessly futuristic combination perfectly blends a blank canvas with an eccentric splash of metallic. Start with a casual white T-shirt as your base, adding something reflective to the bottom, be it a skirt or a pair of pants. You can accentuate your long legs by wearing a skirt and knee boots; just make sure they’re the same color or material. Otherwise, it may appear disjointed. Another take on this pairing is a silver dress with a white jacket, or vice versa – if you start with a single color as your foundation, the outer layer can create a multi-dimensional look, perfect for any occasion.

8. Toffee Brown Black

During cooler and transitional seasons, it’s easy to fall into the habit of only choosing darker hues. But if you want to spice things up without deviating too far from your standard, we suggest injecting a shot of toffee with your black ensemble. This light brown shade will highlight your features and give an extra pep in your step, lifting the overall outfit without feeling too summery. On the runways, the likes of Ferragamo embraced this trend with lashings of leather dresses, coats, and skirts. Choose a tan trench or leather coat paired with a black skirt or trousers and a white shirt. Throwing it back to the ’90s, a black turtleneck, leather jacket, and brown trousers are the ultimate everyday uniform as temperatures start to drop.

9. Dark Red and Baby Blue

As two primary colors, you may think blue and red will clash when put together. However, as fashion goers have shown this season, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Layers of soft baby blue, worn as skirts, dresses, and shirts, have dominated the streets of Paris and New York, but amongst the buttery pale hue are splashes of dark and cherry red prints floral and geometric patterns. Accessories like red stockings and bags rule supreme, but classic favorites like gloves and footwear are also immensely popular choices.

10. Cobalt Blue And Black

Another killer color combination we’ve spotted countless times this season is black and cobalt blue, a fierce and sharp pairing that is sure to stand out. The important thing to consider when wearing these shades is the intention of the outfit. Try to avoid playing around with too many different ideas – stick to one pop of blue, such as a dress or shirt, and keep the remaining elements of your ensemble simple and plain. This way, you can put as much emphasis on the splash of color and put the rest of your energy into the silhouette.
