Integrating spring trends from the runway into your daily outfits isn't always feasible. (Most office dress codes presumably don't allow itty-bitty hot pants or lofty platform heels.) Spring 2024's color trends, however, are ripe with real world possibility. This season's color palette is subdued and lightly saturated, consisting of muted pastels and neutrals that lend themselves to everyday wear. It's easy to imagine yourself in Carolina Herrera's stark white button-down shirts and Altuzarra's mellow yellow trench coats, for instance.
Spring's shades are a noticeable departure from Barbiecore's hot pink trend and the electric limes of seasons past, WGSN head of color Urangoo Samba tells Marie Claire. "We found that pastels—such as lilac, butter yellow, and glacial blue—led [spring 2024's] color levels to replace dopamine brights," she says, citing data gathered through the trend forecasting company's color analysis tools.
