Fall/Winter 25/26 Runway Report: Discover the Latest Color Trends in Fashion!

This season’s fashion runways were an exemplary showcase of how to employ striking color contrasts to enliven classic and contemporary styles. Here’s our breakdown of the most prominent color trends observed during the fashion shows.

Winter Brights

Designers such as Tory Burch embraced unexpected color pairings, introducing a vibrant and modern twist to winter fashion through bright colors and playful minimalism.

Statement Reds

A standout hue this season was a vivid red, which brought an energetic yet familiar touch to the collections.

Fashion houses leveraged statement reds to accentuate key pieces, ensuring they caught the audience’s attention. Acne Studios, for instance, highlighted red as a pivotal color transcending seasons.

The continued use of vivid red tones supports the narrative of Playful Minimalism.

Shadowy Darks

Offering a stark contrast to the vibrant winter hues, shadowy darks maintained their allure for long-term fashion appeal. This season’s highlight was the A/W 25/26 Key Colour, Cherry Lacquer (Coloro code: 159—23—15), which brought a touch of luxury to No. 21’s collection.

In these turbulent times, Cherry Lacquer represents a bold escape and self-empowerment. Its seductive appeal draws on deep, dark desires and taboos as a means of profound liberation and self-assertion.

Core Classics

There remains a strong demand for timeless commercial colors. This season saw designers favoring shades like grey, dark browns, and other neutrals which anchor the concept of Demure Dressing.
