Trendstop bring FashionUnited readers a first look at the key color directions for Fall Winter 2022-23 from the catwalks.
New color discoveries bring fresh impetus to the fashion palette. Essential basics are reimagined and refined, while classic combinations are given a more sophisticated approach. Shades that transcend seasons, material applications or product categories are key to meeting consumer demand for enduring trends.
Luminous shades of brown
Classic shades of brown become luminous and give earthy, simple tones a new sophistication. Brown tones are enriched and deeper, darker hues appear to glow with undertones of subtle yellow and peach. Luxurious, soft materials with a subtle shine enhance the color brilliance and give a special touch to a core color of the palette.
Vintage sports combinations
The new color combinations are inspired by vintage sports filtered through a modern, playful yet sophisticated look. The bold pastels and muted colors of retro sportswear are translated into fashion items, creating refreshing color combinations that are as unexpected as they are harmonious. Sheer, lightweight fabrics juxtaposed with wool and knits reinforce the contrast.
Acai cocoa
Confirming our fashion forward prediction for SS23, Acai Cacao represents the increasing longevity and seasonality of color trends. Offering a cool, sophisticated alternative to winter’s traditionally warm hues, the rich purple-brown hue translates easily to all material categories, from fluid drape fabrics to smooth premium leather.
