While summer favors light, vibrant hues and winter leans toward warm, deeper tones, every season boasts its own signature palette. As a leading authority on color trends, Pantone forecasts these annually, guiding designers, manufacturers, and retailers worldwide. Drawing from years of tracking fashion evolutions, we're highlighting the standout Fall/Winter 2016 colors to inspire your next wardrobe update.
For Fall/Winter 2016, a craving for calm, resilience, and optimism shaped a palette anchored in serene blues—evoking the unwavering blue sky. Earthy neutrals like gray, clay, and warm taupe join vibrant accents of red, pink, green, and mustard across collections. These diverge from classic autumn shades amid global uncertainties, prioritizing soothing tones: grays for stability, reds for confidence and warmth, pinkish-purples and spicy mustard for an exotic flair.
No wardrobe is complete without a versatile women's dress this season. McGregor delivers with feminine styles perfect from office hours to evenings out. Their Fall/Winter collection features rich reds and blues alongside broken white, oat yellow, and light gray—echoing Pantone's natural emphasis. Blending timeless classics with a modern, Manhattan-urban edge, expect flowy long cardigans, cozy knits, elegant dresses, skirts, and hip jumpsuits in these on-trend hues.
