These 7 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Spring Wardrobe

While colour trends come and go, there are always a few tried-and-tested shades that you can rely on for building an elevated seasonal wardrobe. Indeed, these tones are considered classic spring colours for good reason, with their saturated hues or pastel undertones complementary to a period of lightness, renewal and promise of balmy weather ahead.

From street style to the runway and, of course, Pantone's predictions, there are plenty of indicators to help us understand which shades are prominent for spring. In 2025, the spring fashion colour trends haven't deviated too far from hues we'd consider timeless and always relevant for this point in time.

The recent runway collections have backed this up, too. At Chloé, gentle sky blue shades saturated silky slip dresses, lace-trimmed carousels and tiered ruffle gowns, while pale yellow tones shone through Zimmermann's recent ranges. Miu Miu took a more vibrant approach, with a sunny yellow backdrop setting the scene for powder pink v-necks, tomato red bustiers and ivory satin midi dresses.

Thankfully, the one thing each of these colours has in common is that they all look extremely high-end and can be worn as a statement shade to create an expensive-looking spring outfit. We definitely know we'll be wearing these for the next few months.

7 Classic Spring Colours To Try This Season

1. Butter Yellow

Style Notes: Yellow clothes and accessories always make a comeback in the warmer months, but it’s a hard shade to get right. Often, it can look too twee, and other times too garish. Pale, buttery yellow, however, is the perfect chic balance.

2. Olive

Style Notes: Vivid green might be one of the decade's biggest trends—colour or otherwise, thanks to a little Charli XCX album called brat—but in terms of classic spring colours, olive is where it’s at. The hue just goes with so many other shades. I’m sure you’ll find it incredibly versatile.

3. Ecru

Style Notes: What would the warmer months be without a healthy dose of ecru in your wardrobe? Less stark than pure-white tones, consider it your first step in transitioning your palette from dark to light and a definitive classic spring shade. Wear it top to toe to look the epitome of rich and unbothered.

4. Tomato Red

Style Notes: Bright red tones are everywhere I look right now after the season of tomato girl summer, but don’t worry—this isn’t a fleeting trend. Stick to warm-toned shades, and I promise you’ll pull them out each and every year.

5. Light Blue

Style Notes: Although shades of blue work year-round, I think they look their freshest come spring. In place of cobalt and ultra-bright shades, look to paler tones to elevate your outfits.

6. Brown

Style Notes: Okay, so there's nothing that tethers brown hues to spring—they are a neutral after all—but I think they look their best in the soft sunlight. It's softer than black meaning it goes with every shade you can think of—use the other tones on this list as your starting point.

7. Pink

Style Notes: On the heels of the Wicked and Barbie press tours, pink has become synonymous with springtime dressing. While we've shifted away from the magenta tone pioneered by Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino, mild shades like powder pink bring a pretty twist to classic shapes.
