A lot of the colours trending this season are in the bright and bold category. Think fiery red and cobalt blue. For the less daring, olive green and sunshine yellow.
There is a colour for everyone this summer. Read on to find out more about this season’s colour trends…
Barbie Pink
Aligning with the release of the highly-anticipated Barbie film in July, it is no wonder this is such a key colour trend for SS23. Recently dubbed, Valentino Pink, after the vibrant hue was all over the fashion house’s FW22-23 collection, it is clear this shade is here to stay this season.

Whilst typically a tricky colour to style, this earthy tone looks amazing with a tan, making it perfect for summer. Victoria Beckham and Brandon Maxwell both showed glamourous olive-green dresses for SS23, which would also fit effortlessly into your autumn wardrobe.
