Which colors are fashionable in autumn and winter 2022? As every year, the experts at the Pantone Color Institute have selected colors that we cannot ignore in the coming cool season. In the following article, we reveal exactly what these are and how they can be cleverly combined.
They are presented every year at Fashion Week in New York and determine the colors of the coming fashion season: the color trends for fall and winter 2022/2023. This year, they are primarily intended to express our need for rest, relaxation and care. After the turbulent last few years that have affected people on all continents, this sounds like a good choice. Calm, restful colors are contrasted with bright, vibrant tones that encourage and have a life-affirming effect.
Strong and contrasting: The color trends for autumn/winter 2022
The more intense colors are primarily intended to support a calm, grounded attitude to life. The focus is on clear colors whose message is unmistakable. This fits with the currently very unpredictable world situation, to which fashion wants to counteract a sense of security with grounded colors.
Trend colors red & orange: Lava Falls & Orange Tiger
The orange-red Lava Falls combines warmth and passion with a certain serenity. This color is particularly flattering for warm skin types with brunette or black hair. Those who are more of a light-skinned type should use Lava Falls as an accessory, for example in the form of a scarf.
The bright orange tiger also needs to be skillfully combined. The intense, cool orange shines from afar and is suitable for anyone who wants to make a statement. A shirt or jacket in orange tiger has an invigorating effect and signals joy, alertness and attention. Together with black, dark blue and cream, it has a balanced effect and puts the wearer in the spotlight in style.
Trend colors blue & green: Amazon, Waterspout & Midnight
The cooler shades are dominated by intense colors inspired by nature. Above all, the green shade Amazon shines piercingly and suggests joie de vivre and vitality. Shirts, jackets and accessories in this fresh leaf green can be wonderfully combined with the classics black and white, but also with the trendy colors Caramel Café and Arctic Wolf .
Martini Olive is also right on trend for fall/winter 2022/2023: The muted green is a real color classic and can be worn by all men thanks to the high gray content.
Waterspout brings a fresh, cool light blue into your wardrobe. The bright shade can be worn alone or combined with dark navy to make it elegant and suitable for everyday use. Muted outfits can be given a touch of freshness with details or accessories in Waterspout .
Midnight is a muted water blue with a hint of grey, which radiates calm and strength, especially in everyday life. If you don't want to wear a complete suit in this inspiring deep blue, you can choose shirts or ties in midnight .
Trend colors yellow & brown: Samoan Sun & Caramel Café
If you are brave and like to wear warm colors, the bright yellow of Samoan Sun is a good choice. This intense tone can be worn by both warm and cold skin types because it is very balanced. In any case, you will add a cheerful highlight to your clothing style, regardless of whether it is a shirt, a tie or statement socks in the fresh yellow.
The brown tones that dominate the coming season are a warm, chocolatey shade of brown called Caramel Café . It can be chosen as a contrasting colour to Midnight or Amazon , for example , but it also looks great on its own. The light, rich shade of brown looks very stylish and trendy on jackets, trousers and even entire suits.
Trend color pink: Rose Violet & Nosegay
The pink, rose and purple color category is very floral: the light, cool rose tone Nosegay is a very graceful trend color that is ideal for men's shirts, jackets, ties and accessories. The pastel shade suits men of all hair and skin colors and is popular with both older and younger men.
In stark contrast to this is the louder, more intense Rose Violet , which appears very lively and dynamic. The bright magenta tone requires a bit of fashion courage, but is a very confident statement.
The color classics for autumn / winter 2022/2023
As a basis for stylish looks, the Pantone Institute defines not only the trend colors but also so-called core colors, which have a more classic feel and are always a safe choice. For the coming autumn and winter, these include the classics Arctic Wolf (a muted gray-beige), Autumn Blonde (a warm beige with a hint of light orange) and Chiseled Stone (a muted stone gray). You can also choose from a deep midnight blue ( Polar Night ) and a matte grass green ( Loden Frost ). These colors can be combined with the trend colors as you wish.
Particularly good combinations of trend colors in the coming fashion autumn / winter are:
- Lava Falls with Arctic Wolf and Chiseled Stone
- Amazon with Polar Night, Arctic Wolf and Autumn Blonde
- Waterspout with Polar Night and Arctic Wolf
- Caramel Café with Autumn Blonde , Polar Night and Loden Frost
- Midnight with Arctic Wolf , Autumn Blonde and Loden Frost
- Samoan Sun with Polar Night and Arctic Wolf
- Martini Olive with Arctic Wolf and Autumn Blonde
