For AW25, colours for NYFW are “imbued with a poetic nuance, creating a blend of casual relaxation with subtle elegance,” explains Pantone, offering a “lively colour dialogue between well-known, traditional neutrals and dynamic and bold and deep seasonal hues”. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said in a statement: “Imbued with a feeling of effortless glamour, colours for NYFW autumn/winter 2025/2026 are approachable and accessible. “As fashion looks for new ways forward, originating new silhouettes, materials and textures, familiar colours are being reinvented with a contemporary transformation. True creativity doesn’t always lie in the pursuit of the novel, but includes the art of reimagining, giving lots of room to play and experiment, creating individualised looks that are new and fresh.”
