The report features the top colours we can expect to see on the runway for spring collections – and we’re sure this is going to have some bearing on bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride ensembles and guest outfits for the year ahead.

For the first time this year, the palette incorporates 12 top colours and an additional four ‘classic’ hues. The top 12 shades are bold and punchy – a nod to the ongoing trend for disregarding fashion rules in the interest of exploration and freedom.

“Colour’s increased influence in fashion design is being felt around the world. Designers for both the US and UK markets recognize the need to show more colour in their collections,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute. “We broadened the direction for Spring 2018 to satisfy the growing consumer appetite for flexibility of expression through colour. Unique shades for the London runway convey themes of energy, sophistication and serenity. There are multi-dimensional and grounded hues, while others exude a vibrant breath of fresh air.”

The top 12 colours in the report are as follows:

PANTONE 17-1563 Cherry Tomato

Impulsive Cherry Tomato is a tempestuous orangey red that exudes heat and energy. Demanding attention, this courageous, never to be ignored shade is viscerally alive.
