The fashion colors for the season are determined by the Panton Institute. They make their decision based on the fashion collections shown during the Spring-Summer Fashion Weeks in New York and London, traditionally held in September-October each year.
Of course, not all shades fall into the fashion palette. The color institute analysts rely on the current situation in the world, people's moods, and select the most appropriate and reflective shades.
So, for example, at New York Fashion Week, color experts caught the desire to stand out and experiment. In their opinion, the upcoming spring and summer season should pass under a bright banner, in which the richest shades of the palette converged.
From New York Fashion Week, the list of trending colors included:
The London palette was less provocative, although it was not boring either. Here the experts also identified 10 fashionable colors for the season spring-summer 2023, which included both bright eccentric and more calm tones.

In addition to the saturated palette, the fashionable base colors of spring-summer 2023 are also highlighted:
The rich red color is perfect for energetic and sensual women. It will look harmonious as the main tone of trouser suits and dresses or will be a stylish accent in the form of a purse, hat and other accessories.
The bright fashionable color of spring and summer 2023 is beet purple, as the Pantone Color Institute calls it. In reality, it is a bold fuchsia, which seems to be firmly established in the list of trendy shades. Well, we already know how to wear fuchsia - as part of monochrome outfits or as bright spots in more restrained outfits.
The year of the tiger is over, but that doesn't mean that it will take with it the rich orange color from the fashion palette in clothes. As in 2022, in 2023 we will continue to wear bright and energetic orange, but now in a shade of sharp orange.
If you do not like all these bright and shouty tones, in the list of fashionable colors of the season there are also less saturated. For example, a delicate peach pink - warm, cozy and enveloping with its softness. It will be chic as the main shade of a light dress, a strict skirt suit or even outerwear.
Spring fashion colors are primarily brightness, so the delicate peach in the trendy palette is replaced by a luminescent yellow. The cheerful color is not suitable for everyone - for some color types it will add a yellow undertones to the skin.
Almost no fashion palette is without pink. Along with bright fuchsia at New York Fashion Week, color experts highlighted transparent pink - soft and perfect for a romantic style. If you want to emphasize lightness and femininity, using Crystal Rose is one of the best options.
Unexpectedly, the trendy color green is also not planning to leave the list of trends. If in the past seasons we wore a deep, slightly muted shade, in the spring and summer of 2023 we will change into a classic, pure green.

The shade Blue Perennial is a vivid blue. Calm and peaceful. A good choice for business women who want to show confidence and stability at negotiations. For everyday closet, bright blue is also a great choice.
For those who like lighter shades, the fashion palette includes a relaxed, calm and airy Summer Song. Pantone describes it as a classic blue with a subtle grayish undertone. This color is good for pants and skirts, as well as tops, especially of flying fabric - silk or satin.
Cherry Tomato is a seductive red. It also attracts attention and emphasizes sensuality, but unlike Fiery Red, it is cleaner and lighter. The most daring girls can make total looks with it, and modest girls can use it as accent color, for example, on a belt or scarf.
Coral is back on the list of fashionable colors in clothes. After several years of oblivion, it returned in the form of Persimmon or honey coral. Quite saturated, but at the same time soft color will suit girls of warm colortypes, who want to emphasize the natural tenderness.
Tropical Orange or Mango is a orange slightly diluted with white that is slightly pastel. At the same time you can't call it too gentle or soft - the brightness inherent to orange is retained.

Another yellow in the list of trendy colors of 2023. It's lighter and cleaner than Empire Yellow, but just as bright and energizing. It will fit harmoniously into both spring and summer closet and will blend perfectly with the surrounding weather. And also it will raise your and other people's mood, because you can't help smiling when you have the color of the sun and positivity in front of you.

More, more green! - That's what the Color Institute decided and included an exotic shade reminiscent of the color of leaves somewhere in the high mountain forest into the selection of trendy colors. This shade is slightly lighter than Classic Green, but just as pure. It looks great on dense fabric, which does not eat up its saturation.
And another blue is Airy Blue. A refreshing and romantic shade suitable for hot summer days, when you want to dip into a mountain river and blow off the traces of the hot sun. In spring, blue echoes the clear skies and reminds us - winter is behind us.
Electric blue often appears on the list of fashion colors and is often used in clothing. For all its brightness, it remains calm and suggestive, so it's perfect for trendy jackets, business skirts and stylish coats. It can also be used for less formal clothing, especially for girls with a cooler color type.
