6 Popular Colour Trends That Will Be Everywhere This Summer

Barbie pink is stepping aside for its deeper-toned sister, bringing the power tone of red to the forefront. With Alexander McQueen designing power jumpsuits in the bold hue and Akris opting for flowing dresses in the same, red is more stylish than ever.

Butter yellow is bringing a slightly deeper tone to all of your neutrals, from the likes of Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu, and more. The silhouettes are both bold (see: Altuzarra) as well as ladylike (á la Lela Rose). Yet they all offer the same tone that effortlessly acts as both a neutral and a pop of bright colour, depending on how you style it.

Green is a tricky colour to style, so designers have taken the "choose your own adventure" approach when it comes to this hue for spring. While Johanna Ortiz and Lela Rose opted for classic Kelly green, Rejina Pyo went for a subtle mint tone and Victoria Beckham added a slightly more acidic hue to the mix.

Designers like Cecilie Bahnsen and Christian Wijnants have taken the polarising colour and made it accessible to all. The pastel colour is no doubt softer than deeper, richer tones of purple. Still, there's an electricity to the lilac hue of Spring 2023, with a vibrancy and deep saturation that still feels powerful.

Designers are taking it back to the basics with their cobalt array for spring, creating looks in one of the three primary colours on the wheel. Though bright and bold, blue hues are a safe toe-dip for those more averse to sunnier hues in their wardrobe.

In keeping with the pastel colours of the season, Spring runways were rife with powder blue, a tone that acts as both a neutral and a pop of colour. Deveaux added a bit more saturation to the tone, styling looks with head-to-toe colour, while Victoria Beckham offered just the right amount of pigment for a more colourful alternative to springtime whites. No matter what your personal style, powder blue is a must have this season.
