Spring brings with it brighter, lighter clothes. This is the time to start choosing spring colors to really get into the mood of the season. This post contains the new colors for spring/summer and how to wear them.
I like to start wearing spring colors from the first day of the season until the last. That’s why I am posting these colors now instead of when they were first announced in the fall!
The Pantone Fashion Color Report provides a comprehensive overview of fashion designers’ use of color in their collections. The color palette shown here is based on New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022. The trending colors are generally available in the stores, so they should be fairly easy to find. You may also have these colors in your wardrobe already. Updating your colors keeps your look modern. Age doesn’t matter. And remember, older is bolder! This year’s palette gives you the option of piling on the bold colors.
I will recommend which are the best for your coloring, below the color swatches. If warm spring or autumn colors look best on you or if cool summer or winter colors are your best, read my summary located below the color swatches.
And finally, I will include ideas for some of the best ways of combining the Pantone colors together. You’ll find that at the bottom of this post.

This spring and summer, plaid is trending even though it is commonly thought of as a Fall print. Think of it as yet another rule broken in order to create something new. Plaid is not too far off from gingham, so it actually makes some sense when you think about it. In their spring shows, designers have used plaid in lightweight materials in jumpsuits, dresses, tops, skirts, shorts, pants, shoes, bags, etc. You could even try plaid nail art! And a plaid flannel shirt is still wearable in the spring or summer as a jacket for chilly situations. So check out my style tips and outfit ideas for how to wear plaid spring and summer!

A slip dress is not only a sexy little slip of a thing. It can be worn solo in the summer, of course, or when you’re feeling sexy….But does it really have to be sexy? The answer is no. You can wear it night or day and do so many things with it! Layer under and/or over it: light layers during the spring and summer and heavy layering during the fall and winter.
