Bold Color for Spring: The Top Pantone Colors of 2025

April 2, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

Trends can feel like a chaotic mystery; how is it that designers across the globe seem to land on the same colors every season, almost like fashion telepathy? While silhouettes, prints, and textures follow their own unpredictable paths, color trends are a little less mysterious. Enter the Pantone Color Institute. While they don’t dictate what’s in, their expert predictions and influence help shape what we’ll be seeing everywhere. So, what hues are set to define 2025, making their mark on both Pantone’s radar and designer runways? Scroll down to discover the shades stealing the spotlight this year.

Wispy Pink

First up is the dreamy Wispy Pink. While pink has been having a major moment—thanks in part to the “Barbie” movie’s 2023 takeover and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s iconic Valentino collection drenched in vibrant pink—the hot, electric Barbiecore shade has officially cooled off. In its place? A softer, more ethereal take on pink. Wispy Pink brings a delicate, feminine charm that feels effortlessly chic, making appearances on the runways of Alaïa, Khaite, and Loewe.

Plum

Oxblood red may have its moment every autumn, but now its ultimately cooler sister has stepped onto the stage for spring’s color trends. Used in strong, sculptural silhouettes, this shade is perfect for those who might want to go a bit bolder this season. From Nina Ricci to Altuzarra this shade is bold enough to capture anyone’s heart.

Mocha

If you think mocha is too moody for spring, think again … or maybe you just missed the memo from the runways. This rich, earthy shade was a standout, proving that neutrals don’t have to be boring. At Miu Miu, models floated down the runway in effortlessly draped jersey dresses in this warm tone, while Gucci embraced it in a way that made it instantly covetable. Moody? Maybe. But think of mocha as the perfect grounding shade for your springtime brights—sophisticated, versatile, and undeniably chic.

Citrus

Citrus shades (think zesty yellows, vibrant oranges, and punchy lime greens) are a spring staple, but this year, the trend took on a distinctly juicy twist. A perfect blend of lemon and lime, this electrifying hue dominated runways across the globe, with designers like Saint Laurent, Tove, and Bottega Veneta embracing its bold, refreshing energy. Whether in fluid silks or structured tailoring, this shade felt anything but expected—radiating warmth, vibrancy, and a touch of playful sophistication.

Butter Yellow

Hailed by Vogue as the color to wear this spring, butter yellow is having a major moment. A softer, more delicate take on citrus, this pale, creamy hue exudes femininity and quiet sophistication rather than bold intensity. Designers embraced its understated elegance, with buttery suedes at Chloé, chic separates at Chanel, and effortless dresses at Toteme. Subtle yet striking, this shade proves that sometimes, the softest colors make the biggest impact.

Editors’ Picks: Five Fashion Collaborations Taking Spring 2025 by Storm

March 7, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

This spring, cult classic, function-forward brands like The North Face, Barbour, and HOKA, are joining forces with brands like Cecilie Bahnsen, ERDEM, and Marni to fuse practicality with pretty. Other collaborations have their finger on the pulse of what is trending this season. A resurgence from one designer, and a collaboration with this spring’s hottest television show from another. Just in time for the vernal equinox, these collaborations will have you outfitted in the season’s best trends.

Image courtesy of The North Face x Cecilie Bahnsen

Cecilie Bahnsen X The North Face

Juxtaposition is always in fashion, and it has the best shock value when it comes to fashion collaborations. Take The North Face, an American outdoor clothing brand that has been long known for its weather-wicking gear best suited for bracing the elements. In contrast, Cecilie Bahnsen is a Danish womenswear brand known for using hyper-feminine, romantic, and delicately designed pieces. This spring, the two brands are blending The North Face’s expert technology with Bahnsen’s feminine flair for a delightfully fun collection of weather-proofed jackets, flouncy dresses, and accessories.

Self-portrait x Christopher Kane

Sometimes, a fashion collaboration has the power to resurrect a beloved brand. After nearly two years since Christopher Kane closed the doors to his namesake brand, he is teaming up with London’s Self-portrait for a collection that feels very “Kane.” Inspiration was evidently gleaned from Christopher Kane’s spring 2007 collection. The color palette takes a much more muted approach than that of yesteryear, but harkens back to similar silhouettes and textures from 2007.

Image courtesy of Marni

Marni X HOKA

The sportswear fashion girlies are excited about this one! Marni X Hoka is a shining example of function and fashion. Italian luxury brand Marni is not one to shy away from boldness. Bright colors, graphics, and textural contrasts are all hallmarks. Hoka, similarly playful in color and design, is a cult favorite for athletic sneaker lovers. The co-designed BONDI B3LS sneakers, will be available in four colorways: Poinciana (red), Bracken (charcoal), Tourmaline (blue), and Straw (beige).

Image courtesy of Barbour x Erdem

Barbour x ERDEM

Going back to juxtaposition in fashion, we see it again with this splendid joining of English brands ERDEM and Barbour. ERDEM is another hyper-romantic womenswear brand created known for an emphasis on intricate floral and lacy motifs. Barbour is a classic, iconically British heritage brand known for its foolproof, weatherproof outerwear; namely the waxed cotton jacket.

In this collaboration, ERDEM’s feminine silhouettes introduce themselves to Barbour’s classic jacket. The collection features playful and peplum versions of the beloved British closet staple.

The White Lotus X CAMILLA

Every year that a new season of “The White Lotus” is released, it inspires quite a chorus of discussion regarding the mystery of the given season, but perhaps this season, the discourse will see an uptick in conversations about fashion, thanks to this collaboration. Australian swimwear brand CAMILLA partnered with the show team to create a collection of beachwear, fit for Thailand, where the show takes place this season. The CAMILLA team tapped Lezio Lopes, the Sydney-based artist behind the famous opening credits in seasons one and two.

If you’re after that lit-from-within glow, Burberry Beyond Radiance is your new secret weapon. This lightweight, 80% water-based primer hydrates like a serum while delivering a beautiful glow that instantly brightens and evens out your complexion.

Gucci Blush De Beauté: Your Multi-Use Pop of Color

Gucci’s first-ever powder blush is everything you need for a fresh, healthy flush. The buttery-soft formula blends effortlessly, thanks to emollient waxes and smoothing powders, while skin-loving ingredients like Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid, and Black Rose Oil keep your cheeks hydrated. The buildable pigment means you can go for a soft hint of color or layer it up for a bold, sculpted effect. Plus, it doubles as an eye shadow, making it a versatile addition to any makeup bag for on-the-go touchups.

Urban Decay All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray: The Ultimate Glow Lock

Lock in your makeup with a radiant finish that lasts all day for truly “juicy” looking skin. Urban Decay’s All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Setting Spray keeps your look fresh for up to 16 hours while delivering all-day hydration. Infused with hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract, it plumps the skin, prevents makeup meltdowns, and leaves behind a dewy, luminous glow. The fresh watermelon scent will have you dreaming of summer. The micro-mist spray ensures an even application, and the waterproof, smudge-proof and transfer resistant formula guarantees your glam stays put all day and night without cracking, fading or flaking.

Burberry Eye Quad: A Chic, Everyday Essential

For an effortless yet striking eye look, the Burberry Eye Quad in Midnight No. 04 is a must. Inspired by classic Burberry heritage hues, this palette features four complementary shades that are richly pigmented, long-lasting, and blend beautifully with minimal fallout. Beginner friendly with four colors that can easily be mixed and matched to create dozens of looks for night or day. The compact comes in the brand’s signature beige and gold case, complete with a mirror and applicator, making it the perfect luxury staple for on-the-go glam and one you’ll be proud to display on your vanity.

Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion: All-Over Radiance

Get ready to glow—literally, from head to toe. The Revlon ColorStay Face + Body Glow Lotion hydrates while delivering a natural, all-over luminosity. Infused with glycerin and superfruit extracts, this 80% water-infused gel formula provides a refreshing feel to the skin without the greasiness. You’ll also love the fresh coconut scent, and four radiant shades all equipped with ultra-refined pearls for a multi-dimensional glow, which you can wear all over.

Whether used alone, mixed with foundation, or applied as a highlighter or bronzer, this versatile glow-enhancer is a runway favorite—celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo used it to create a radiant, dewy finish for Christian Siriano’s New York Fashion Week show just last month Oquendo explained he drenched the models in Face + Body Glow lotion in two shades mixed together with a blush brush to really make their skin shine.

Gucci Mascara Le Magnétisme: The Luxe Lash Lift

Lashes that mesmerize? Yes, please! Gucci’s Mascara Le Magnétisme delivers voluminous, fanned-out, curled lashes. The formula provides a weightless, creamy texture. The curved brush with spikes in different lengths ensures both volume and curl while capturing even the thinnest lashes, while the black and blue pigment blend intensifies lash definition.

The smudge-proof, flake-resistant formula stays put for up to 12 hours without clumping, making it a beauty essential. The sleek black tube with a gold Gucci logo adds an extra touch of sophistication and a little something special.

Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips: The Ultimate Statement Lip

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips in Secret Salma is a deep rose-plum shade inspired by Salma Hayek, designed to complement brown eyes beautifully. This modern matte lipstick hydrates with Lipstick Tree Extract and Vitamin E, ensuring long-lasting color and a cashmere-soft finish. The square-angled tip is ideal for precise application, while 3D glowing pigments create the illusion of fuller, more luminous lips. Plus, the iconic rose-gold tube is as Insta-worthy as it gets!

Both Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist-tested and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, this is the ultimate liner for drama and definition.

Editors’ Pick: A Ladies’ Winter Wonderland of Fashion

January 16, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

When Winter rolls in, it’s not just about staying warm—it’s about looking effortlessly chic while keeping the chill out. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa spiked with Baileys at a ski lodge in a cashmere sweater and a glittering mini skirt or making heads turn on the slopes in a Moncler puffer–or a slightly more affordable alternative, every cold-weather moment is an opportunity for a fashion statement. For this article Fashion Reverie has pulled together everything that screams après-ski glam–because nothing says ‘I belong here’ quite like a perfectly curated winter ensemble.

And let’s not forget the non-athletic Winter moments we all crave. If a winter party is on your docket this season, we know just what you should wear–a glittering dress and some heels. For a snowy walk—because we must romanticize our lives—a cozy coat draped over a creamy sweater set and some jeans will do the trick. And when it is time for a girls’ night, embrace your playful, feminine side with a satin dress and a stunning pink feather coat from Nana Jacqueline. Winter, darling, is not a season—it’s a style showcase.

The Ski Lodge: Jenni Kayne Cashmere ($195) Fran Skirt ($158)

For the coziest and chicest outfit to wear by the fireside, Fashion Reverie recommends a pair the Jenni Kayne ‘everyday sweater’ with Show me your Mumu’s sparkling, fur faux skirt. This outfit adds the perfect amount of drama to your ski lodge look, without doing too much. Complete the look with your choice of footwear. Fashion Reverie recommends you keep it cozy with a pair of warm shearling-lined boots or channel a Park Avenue meets Aspen-vibe with chic flats that prove you just came for these snowy pictures and the lodge’s spa.

Hitting the Slopes: Alo Winter Long Sleeve ($128) Half Days Soft Ski Pants ($285)

Yes, you could drop $4,000 on a Moncler ski suit and pray no one spills their spiked hot chocolate on you—but let’s be real, looking fabulous doesn’t have to come with a mortgage payment. Instead, start with Alo Yoga’s winter long sleeve, a sleek, moisture-wicking base layer that keeps you warm without the bulk (because Michelin Man chic is not the goal). Pair it with Halfdays’ Emma softshell ski pants, the perfect blend of stretch, and warmth—whether you’re carving down black diamonds or just posing for Instagram pics.

Winter Party: Aqua X Wicked Bubble ($118) Penely Sandal ($119)

Winter may be cold, but your outfit doesn’t have to be. Pair the flirty bubble dress from the Aqua x Wicked Collection with Vince Camuto’s pink feather heels for a fiery Winter party look. From the voluminous silhouette of the dress and fluffy feathers on your toes, nothing says I’m the main character more. Just be sure to grab a luxe faux fur stole before stepping outside—because elegance is freezing, but at least you’ll look stunning while you shiver.

Winter Walk: Vermont Sherpa Wrap ($280) Veronica Beard Flare Jeans ($298)

A winter walk is less about exercise and more about pretending you’re a born-again snow angel. In this outfit, the Veronica Beard flare jeans bring just the right amount of vintage cool, elongating your legs while still being practical (read: they fit over your warmest socks when the temperature hits freezing).

After putting on a cozy sweater, bundle yourself in the Vermont Sherpa wrap coat, a rich burgundy-brown dream that looks like it was made for strolling through a snow-dusted town while contemplating something poetic. Finish the look with a pair of warm, snow-ready boots—because as glamorous as this walk may be, no one looks chic slipping on ice.

Images courtesy of the respective brands

Girls’ Night: Nana Jacqueline Pink Feather Coat ($510) Reformation Pike Satin Dress ($248)

The Nana Jacqueline Angelica feather coat is pure, unfiltered drama—the kind that turns sidewalks into runways and makes every entrance feel like a movie moment. Underneath, the Reformation Pike satin dress brings the perfect balance of sultry and sophisticated, because what’s a night out without a little satin shine? Finish the look with the Vince Camuto Penely pink feather heels from earlier because you might as well go all out.
