The fashion colors of winter 2025: our top 5

Which colors are in fashion this winter? Luckily, many of them are timeless classics. This means that following (or better yet, interpreting) trends doesn’t necessarily require a shopping spree. You can simply start with what you already have in your closet. Below, we’ve compiled a list of five colors we believe you’ll truly embrace as your go-to fashion shades for Winter 2025. Along with each, we’ve included styling tips to make the most of them.

What’s the Trendiest Color Right Now? Brown

The famous Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025, is a major source of inspiration. But let’s not forget classic shades like chocolate, chestnut, and cappuccino, which are also trending this season. One of the combinations we love—and one we’ll likely see again in Winter 2026—is layering different shades of brown. This works particularly well when paired with oversized pieces and statement accessories like scarves. Deep and medium brown tones, especially biscuit hues, look amazing with rich, dark reds and purples. Burgundy and plum complement brown beautifully, adding vibrancy while maintaining its depth.

Other colors that enhance (and are enhanced by) brown include bright yellow and turquoise. A turquoise and coffee-brown combo, for instance, creates an effortlessly chic outfit, perfect for the transition between seasons. For a bold touch, try dark brown with fuchsia—unlike raspberry, which brings out brown’s intense side, fuchsia creates a surprisingly playful effect. If you love this pairing, you’ll find it easy to carry into the coming months. Yes, brown might even be one of your top colors for Spring 2025.

2025 Fashion Colors: Deep, Intense Red

Among this year’s trendiest colors for nails and clothing are raspberry, cherry, currant, and burgundy. Cherry red is even making waves in winter 2025 hair color trends—these rich, complex hues are everywhere! We've grouped these shades together, encouraging you to explore each one by styling the pieces already in your wardrobe. The styling tips below apply to all of them since they share a luxurious, multidimensional quality. First off, these shades pair beautifully with three other key Winter 2025 colors: brown, cream, and black.

A standout combination worth extra attention? Deep red and gray. It’s an unexpected yet stunning pairing. Simply match a gray coat with a currant or burgundy sweater, and you'll instantly see how elegant it looks. The amount of red you incorporate can vary—you could go for gray pants with a burgundy cardigan or add just a pop of raspberry with accessories, like a shawl over an all-gray outfit.

What’s in this year? Spotlight on Cream

A fall favorite (yes, even for nail polish), cream remains just as stylish in winter, gracing cable-knit sweaters, trousers, and long-sleeved dresses. However, it’s distinct from the crisp white that blankets mountain landscapes. This warm-toned shade pairs best with similarly warm hues—caramel is a standout choice. That said, mixing cream with cooler shades can create a perfectly balanced outfit that neither leans too warm nor too cool. We love it with muted green (more on that shortly), black, and cherry red.

Cream is also ideal for tonal outfits, yet it shines in the details—collars, mini bags, and boots. Speaking of footwear and looking ahead to Spring-Summer 2025 trends, cream slingbacks are an absolute must!

One Color Never Goes Out of Style: Black

Often seen as a "safe" choice for those hesitant about bold color combinations, black is so much more than that. A timeless symbol of elegance, it’s perfect for head-to-toe monochrome looks—not just for special occasions but also for casual wear. If you prefer mixing colors, try pairing black with white and muted green.

Want to refresh your go-to black pieces? Experiment with metallic accessories—silver and gold bags or shoes can add a radiant touch to any black outfit.

Winter 2025’s Trend Colors: Muted Green

Forget neon tones—this year, the focus is on earthy greens like khaki and olive. These shades are incredibly versatile, pairing well with black, white, and even spring-inspired colors like pastel pink and denim blue.

If you’re eagerly awaiting spring, muted greens allow you to create winter-ready outfits with a forward-looking touch. They’re also a great alternative to gray, making them perfect if you’re looking to switch up your usual color palette.
