TOP COLOURS
A mix of divergent colours to unleash individual expression.
According to Pantone Color Institute experts, designers at NYFW Spring / Summer 2026 fearlessly step into personal expression, a dramatic bulwark against AI and creeping homogenisation. Finding freedom to redefine colour usage, this season's palette contrasts warm familiar shades with more vibrant, stimulating colours and foundational tones.
"Celebrating self-expression and individualism, NYFW Spring / Summer 2026 gives us a very new way of putting colours together."
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute
Colours for Spring / Summer 2026 continue the drumbeat for honesty, authenticity and desire to put our own unique stamp on what we wear. The balance of colours that boldly celebrate the joyfulness of dressing with trans-seasonal neutrals and calming minimalist tones create new looks free from constraint.
From the quietly glamorous saturation of Alexandrite teal to the dramatic intensity of Lava Falls red, from the ethereal White Onyx to the balancing power of Sage Green, this combination of maximalist and minimalist colours signals fresh silhouettes, unconventional pairings and novel self-expression that showcases humanity in all its guises.
