As you mourn the end of summer, you can start transitioning to an all-black fall wardrobe. But the fashion industry’s already thinking ahead to spring 2020—and Pantone has revealed its predictions for the biggest color trends of the season. Hint: They’re more wearable than this year’s lime green obsession.
Thinking forward to 2020, you might assume that blue and red would be top on people’s minds. While current events definitely play a role in the colors people gravitate to, according to the Pantone Color Institute, the spring palette reflects a desire for “a sense of the familiar,” and that the top hues “convey a sense of ease.”
In a statement, Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, said: “Combining our desire for stability, creativity, and more spontaneous design approaches, the color palette for spring 2020 infuses heritage and tradition with a colorful youthful update that creates strong multi-colored combinations as well as energizing and optimistic pairings.” That translates to a dozen hues that you’ll see all over the New York Fashion Week runways. But you don’t necessarily have to wait six months to start incorporating it into your wardrobe: Ahead, shop the 12 biggest color trends for spring 2020 before everyone else.
