These colours are trending this autumn, here's what you should wear

Fashion is more unchained than ever this year. Body positivity and gender fluidity became the core style values of this season, and designers definitely weren't thinking in black and white. Colour positivity is trending too, so expect the carnival of bright hues and loads of shimmer and shine this autumn. These are the key colours Who What Wear predicts will take the reins.

Shades of blue

Colours like aqua, cerulean and cobalt blue are the favourites in the coming season. These eye-catching hues make you look irresistible, especially when paired with neutrals like beige and taupe.

Hot pink

You can continue having your love hate relationship with hot pink as it is still very much around. Combined with anything, it isn’t a bad prospect after all. We have a long cold winter ahead, so anything 'hot' will be very much welcome.

Shades of yellow

From stick-of-butter to golden poppy, yellow made a confident appearance on Fall-Winter 22/23 runways. This autumn's trend points towards brighter yellow, so don't store away your summer outfits just yet.

Pastels

Pastels are more frequent in spring collections, but this year’s fashion follows no rules. Tender hues look amazing when combined with the brighter players of the season. Pastel neutrals can be matched with cobalt blue, while pastel pink is a natural partner for hot pink.

Shimmer in any colour

Shimmering, shining and showing some skin are the key trends of the season. Think crystal netting, sheer sequins, and various embellishments. Don’t discount the bling as something you can only wear on holidays. Pair it with office wear such as blazers to give your everyday style a bit of a fashionable sparkle.
