Color Crush: Spring/Summer 2025's Trending Hues

Spring has officially sprung in the fashion world, and with it comes a palette shift that feels like a breath of fresh, sun-kissed air. From runways in Paris to the racks in your favorite boutique, one thing is clear: color is speaking softly this season — but making a major statement.

The It-Color: Butter Yellow

Say hello to Butter Yellow, Spring/Summer 2025’s unofficial queen of color. This creamy, pastel yellow is everywhere — and we mean everywhere. From flowy dresses and linen suiting to accessories and shoes, it’s the shade that flatters every skin tone and pairs effortlessly with both neutrals and brights.

Why we love it:

• It’s a gentler take on sunshine yellow, bringing warmth without the overwhelm.

• It evokes calm, confidence, and optimism — perfect for a season of renewal.

• It plays beautifully with other trend tones (more on that below).

Color of 2025: Mocha Mousse

Complementing Butter Yellow’s sweetness is Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025. Think soft, earthy brown — warm like sun-baked clay and chic like a minimalist wardrobe staple. Use it as a neutral base to ground pastel outfits, or pair it with bold citrus or pinks for a fashion-forward twist.

Other Colors We’re Loving

• Wispy Pink – A barely-there blush that feels romantic, soft, and airy. The ideal hue for dresses, silky blouses, and nail color.

• Crisp Blue Cotton – A fresh take on classic baby blue with a modern edge. Perfect for shirting, denim, and light layering.

• Tangerine – A zingy, juicy orange that injects energy into your wardrobe. Great as a pop in accessories or statement pieces.

How to Style Spring/Summer 2025 Colors

• Pair Butter Yellow with white denim or linen for a fresh, resort-ready look.

• Add Mocha Mousse via a sleek leather bag, belt, or sandals to tone down a pastel palette.

• Mix and match pastels for a whimsical, romantic vibe — yellow + pink = chef’s kiss.

• Layer neutrals like Mocha and Blue Cotton for a clean, coastal style.

Final Thoughts

Spring/Summer 2025 is all about elevated softness — colors that feel wearable but unexpected. Whether you’re ready to embrace the full butter-yellow moment or just want to dip a toe in with accessories, there’s something for everyone this season.
