A palette of transformative colours presents a vision of change and renewal.
Pantone LLC, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries, today announced the Pantone Fashion Colour Trend Report Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 edition for London Fashion Week (LFW). Published for the fashion industry by the Pantone Color Institute, the trend forecasting and colour consultancy, this season’s report features the top ten standout colours as well as the five new seasonless shades we can expect to see as fashion designers introduce new Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 collections.
The harmonious display of colour featured in LFW Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 balances a confluence of creativity, innovation, heritage, and change to spark a new vision. The overarching depth of colour creates a strong mood with elegantly grounded earth tones, and vapourous whispers of tinted whites and lavender blues, coalescing with brighter reds and eco inspired blues and greens, heightening the power of the seasonal story. Reflecting consumers’ more thoughtful and conscious approach to consumption, the union of more familiar well-loved staple colours with an array of robust and vibrant tones introduces an energy that encourages experimentation and reinvention that allows consumers to discover their own unique personal style with authenticity and freedom.
“Colours for LFW Autumn / Winter 2025 / 2026 enable a dynamic extension of identity,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Balancing the craving for change with consumers desire for sustainability, this mixture of heritage shades with vital seasonal hues highlights how the role of colour is in constant flux, evolving as a meaningful expression of who we as we continually redefine ourselves and who we wish to become.”
