Here are the top 5 Colors from SS ‘23 Runways along with an extensive breakdown of the new “Silver Trend”!

Those Blues

Tranquil blues, ranging from pastel to azure and turquoise, bring vitality and freshness to fashion. Designers like Rejina Pyo, Fendi, and Alberta Ferretti showcased vibrant blue outfits and combinations. Pale blue, a versatile shade, can be found in collections from Fendi, Hermès, 16Arlington, and Givenchy. Cobalt blue emerged as a key shade, spotted in David Koma, Cecilie Bahnsen, and Alexander McQueen’s collections.

Summer Blacks

Black is dominating spring/summer runways with a lighter touch, featuring skin-baring fabrics like crochet and lace. Seen at Chloé, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and various other designers’ shows, black is also present in softer after-hours staples. To style it, pair a black bubble dress with strappy sandals and silver jewelry.

Kelly, Lime, Acid Greens

Spring 2023 is witnessing a resurgence of bright colors, particularly greens. Bottega Veneta, Dion Lee, Dsquared2, Ester Manas, Genny, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Rejina Pyo, Saint Laurent, and Stine Goya have all showcased lime green in their collections. Green’s versatility and easy-to-style nature make it a go-to hue for Spring ’23, offering a wide range of options from utility-driven olive shades to bright teal tones and acid lime.

Pink & Barbiecore

Pale, subdued pinks are on-trend in 2023, symbolizing love, nurturing, and self-care. Designers such as Chanel, Stella McCartney, and Fendi Couture have showcased tailored suits, minimalist jumpsuits, and sheer romantic dresses in this hue. Pair pale pink with other pastels or light neutrals for a versatile spring look. Key elements to watch for include pink patterns, feather trims, leisurewear, and eyewear, as seen in collections from Acne Studios, Vetements, and Fendi Couture. Major Barbiecore energy!

Glitter, Sparkle, Shine in Summer!

The girls on the runway gave the sun a run for its money with metallics and glittercore dominating the season. Traditionally reserved for autumn/winter collections, metallics have transcended seasonal boundaries, morphing into a perennial favourite with sumptuous fabrications like leather and densely packed sequins. Glittercore has made a comeback, exemplified by Vivienne Westwood’s knee-high boots and two-piece ensembles, Stella McCartney’s cape dresses, and Balenciaga’s draped gowns. Brands such as Givenchy and Ester Manas also showcased glittery pieces in their SS23 collections.

This trend embraces various metallic hues, including gold, bronze, and rose gold. Designers such as Michael Kors and Valentino showcased intriguing metallics, while others like Altuzarra and Dolce & Gabanna presented more glittercore pieces. However, the preference leans towards the liquid silver appearance, which can effortlessly serve as a neutral tone. Fashion is enchanted by shiny silver this season, with brands like Gucci, Versace, and Chanel highlighting the colour.

Designers have reimagined silver styles in myriad ways, rendering them appropriate for occasions beyond year-end celebrations. One can’t help but eagerly anticipate trying the outfit combination of silver trousers, strappy sandals, and a chic tank top this summer. Pairing a glistening silver skirt with a sophisticated top is another fashionable choice for one’s upcoming special occasion. This is arguably the most prominent colour trend for the season, and it feels remarkably refreshing following seasons filled with vibrant rainbow hues and saturated tones.

Less in-your-face than Gold and bolder than black, Silver has just the right amount of main character energy to it!
