As 2019 unfolds, fashion enthusiasts are embracing fresh trends straight from the runways. Drawing from expert analyses of seasonal forecasts, here are the eight must-know colors that will define wardrobes this year. Which one resonates with your style?
1. Neon
This bold trend rejects subtlety. Neon hues demand attention, much like a traffic signal, so pair them thoughtfully for chic impact. Try a neon pink sweater with classic black jeans or a vivid yellow bag as an accent.
2. Oat
Timeless neutral tones like oat—a muted blend of brown and gray—return each season with renewed appeal. Elevate it by mixing with rich shades such as black or chestnut brown. Find oat garments from the 10 Days brand via the Anna van Toor website, among others.
3. Soft Yellow
Shifting from last year's zesty lemon, 2019 favors a creamy, buttery yellow. This delicate shade flatters select skin tones only, so test it with accessories or subtle details if unsure about a full outfit.
4. Pastel Blue
Pastels reign in spring, and soft powder blue leads 2019 with its elegant, feminine vibe. Opt for a relaxed blouse or flowing dress. If it doesn't suit, navy and denim blues remain wardrobe staples.
5. Olive Green
Infuse cool sophistication with deep olive green. Ideal for jackets, trousers, satin dresses, or tailored shirts, this versatile shade adapts effortlessly across styles.
6. Sage Green
A fresh innovation in 2019 palettes, sage green offers a muted, sophisticated softness—perfect for power suits. Pair seamlessly with oat, olive green, or black.
7. Chestnut Red
Red evolves toward warm orange-brown undertones like chestnut and rust. This deep terracotta evokes sun-drenched Italian landscapes.
8. Dark Chocolate Brown
Darker than caramel or mocha, pure chocolate brown—in warm or cool variants—emerges as a rich essential for the season.
