The Colour Trends of SS25: What’s In, What Works & What to Avoid Like a Dodgy Fake Tan
Ah, spring/summer fashion. The season where we emerge from winter’s all-black uniform and suddenly every designer decides we must dress like a pack of highlighters. But don’t worry—we’re here to help you navigate the colour chaos of SS25 with a little style sense and a lot of honesty.
So, what’s trending, and more importantly, what’s actually wearable? Let’s break it down…
Mocha Mousse – The New Neutral We Can ALL Get Behind ☕️
If you buy one colour this season, make it Mocha Mousse. Think rich, warm, and effortlessly chic—like that first coffee of the day. It’s flattering on everyone and pairs beautifully with practically everything. Finally, a trend that makes sense!
💡 How to wear it: Treat it like your capsule wardrobe bestie—perfect for tailored pieces, knitwear, and layering.
Orangade – The Power Colour That Says “I’m Here” 🍊
Somewhere between a fiery red and a deep orange, Orangade is the colour for those who want to stand out without looking like a traffic cone. It’s bold, energetic, and full of personality—like the friend who orders tequila shots at brunch.
💡 How to wear it: Keep it to one statement piece—a blouse, dress, or accessories—and let the colour do the talking.
Crocus – The Lilac Trend That’s a Bit Tricky 💜
Lilac is back, and this time it’s been renamed Crocus (fancy, we know). But here’s the thing: lilac can be a tricky little number. Get the right shade, and you’ll look ethereal and effortlessly cool; get the wrong one, and it’s giving retired fairy godmother.
💡 How to wear it: Make sure it works with your skin tone. If in doubt, go for accessories rather than head-to-toe purple.
Dark Romance – The Unexpected Summer Mood 🖤
Who says summer has to be all pastels and brights? Deep, moody hues (think rich plums, deep navies, and almost-black browns) are having a moment. It’s drama without the effort—like looking mysterious in the corner of a party while secretly scrolling ASOS.
💡 How to wear it: Mesh layers, flowing skirts, and sheer fabrics keep this look summery, not suffocating.
How to Make These Trends Work for YOU
Fashion is fun, but let’s be honest—it’s not one-size-fits-all. The key to nailing SS25’s colour trends?
✔️ Stick to neutrals as your base (Mocha Mousse is your best friend)
✔️ Add in pops of colour that actually suit you—not just because they’re trending
✔️ Confidence is the best trend of all—if you feel awkward, it’ll show
✔️ Don’t be afraid to experiment—but maybe test the Lime Cream in small doses first
