FROM RUNWAY TO REALITY: BREAKING DOWN THE SEASON’S HOTTEST COLOR PALETTES AND SILHOUETTES

We can all agree at this point that we are tired of the cold weather and heavy on heavy clothes and want the skimpy summer clothes. Don’t worry I’m here to feel your nostalgia to the max. let’s see what colors are in this summer.

1.Charcoal Gray
Gray is a staple for many year-round wardrobe-wise, and the darker shade of charcoal gray is in this season. To ease on the transition from the cold we take that with a darker dose of grey. You cannot go wrong with charcoal grey from summer shorts to beautiful shrugs. Charcoal gray is a tone that is versatile to style and easy to wear from a variety of silhouettes.

2.Imperial Blue
Blue is always in and since we are just coming from the high of turquoise from trends like mermaid core and beach core, we need a bit of dark and it’s coming through with no better than imperial blue. Who doesn’t want to look princely in their outfits. With the dominating presence of such a rich color, designers offset the hue with other shades, primarily opting to pair it with light denim blue.

3.Apricot Crush
Don’t be scared because of the name Apricot Crush is a warm bleached color that is seen as a soft orange and inspired by a hue of the sub-tropical fruit apricot. Designers have had this shade on their radar even before it was announced as the 2024 Color of the Year by Pantone. And we are obviously here for it. We have been drowning in neutrals lately and a pop of color is highly anticipated.

4.Shades of Green
Green is a versatile and diverse color with a wide range of shades, each conveying a different mood and aesthetic. Green is going to be on everyone’s radar this season and we are here for it. Greens of all kinds are welcome this season. The new color trend for 2024 seems to be taking over the red carpet with celebrities including Taylor Swift, Shailene Woodley and Kate Middleton already fans of the color.

5.Cardinal Red
The darker the red this season, the better. Dark red is always a sleek and sexy look, and this year, there’s no question that it was the sought-after color on the runways.

6.Metallic Mania
We brought metallic wear into our lives and now it’s just too good to let it go. From silvers to gold. Tops to pants. Metallic jackets and coats added a touch of edge and glam to both casual and formal looks. Biker jackets and trench coats in metallic finishes were popular choices. Some fashion-forward individuals experimented with mixing different metallic shades in a single outfit.

7.Pastel Blue
On the opposite end of the spectrum of blues dominating this season’s runways lies pastel blue, a serene shade classic in the springtime. Pastel blue is a soft and soothing shade of blue that has been a popular color in fashion and design. It often evokes feelings of calmness, serenity, and a touch of whimsy. Pastel blue dresses with the most beautiful flowers feel like a dream now. pastel blue’s timeless and calming appeal has made it a consistent favorite in various aspects of design and fashion.

8.Pale Yellow
Just like other classic springtime shades like pastel blue, pale yellow made an outstanding appearance on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways. Pale yellow is a soft and light shade of yellow that can evoke feelings of warmth, freshness, and happiness. Like other pastel colors, pale yellow is versatile and can be used in various contexts

9.Lilac
A playful spin on the richness that purple typically possesses, lilac is making a comeback through next spring and summer. Since we started lilac nails, I think a light purple cardigan could be so marvelous. Easy to translate through different aesthetics and silhouettes, lilac is a gentle, playful pop of color to invest in for the spring and summer months. It feels so fresh, so feminine and that’s a good lean this season.

10Wedding White
White will always be in. it’s just that untouchable like denim; no? okay. But imagine a classic wedding white as it shines it shines this season. As a classic, white is a color that’s not going out of style anytime soon, and designers did not hold back when incorporating stark white hues into their collections this season. Instead of opting for cream or off-white shades, brands leaned into the traditional wedding white without the wedding dress, don’t think of that. Something like virgin white, that. Wear the color through a minimalistic blazer overcoat.

11.Chocolate Brown
In contrast to the many lights, pastel colors, chocolate brown has made a name for itself this season as a trendy nontraditional Spring/Summer color. This shade of brown is the perfect color for a monochromatic moment, and is accessible through many garments, be it cargo pants, leather pieces, or a staple blazer. Chocolate brown’s versatility and ability to pair well with various colors make it a popular choice in fashion and design. Chocolate brown is often used in formal wear, providing a sophisticated and elegant look. It’s also a popular choice for casual clothing items like sweaters, pants, and jackets.

12.Not Your Barbie Pink
Pink is just the color right now. But with Barbie pink has been in our faces for a while now and we are toning it down to a softer pink. Other shades of pink are reigning supreme. Baby pink, also known as pastel pink or light pink, is a soft and delicate shade of pink that is often associated with innocence, sweetness, and femininity
