Powder Pink Is Going to Be 2025’s Favourite Colour

Although we might *technically* be bang in the middle of winter, my mind is already consumed with thoughts of spring/summer 2025. Invigorated by the recent blue skies and frosty breeze I’m feeling optimistic, energised and ready to embrace a brighter colour palette.
Starting with the single colour trend that’s been on my mind since the S/S 2025 runway shows back in September, the pretty and playful powder pink colour trend is the only shade I’m interested in talking about right now. Undeniably optimistic, this joy-sparking colour has a gentle yet fresh-feeling tone that can entirely steer the direction of an outfit.
Pinned by designers as one of the breakthrough colour trends of the new season, the romantic hue was a resounding success at Fashion Month, appearing in a generous number of collections including Erdem, Jason Wu, Ferragamo, Alaïa, Khaite and so many others.
An evolution from the Barbie hot pinks that dominated social media throughout summer last year, this colour offers a similar payoff while being so much easier to style.

While this pleasing pink feels particularly applicable for the spring/summer season, it’s actually a colour that can work really well with a moodier, winter colour palette. Pairing beautifully with the rich burgundy shades that have dominated so far this winter, a splash of powder pink will add dimension to the deep colour, weaving in lightness and brightness without detracting from its glossy undertones.

While the trend is set to find its wings come spring 2025, we’re already seeing whispers of the pretty colour slowly seeping into the fashion scene. Beyond the runway’s obsession with the pastel shade, we’ve seen a huge spike in the trend in line with the Wicked press tour that kicked off earlier this month. Worn at premiere after premiere by Ariana Grande, the actor has put her preppy twist on the powdery colour that her character styles throughout the film, sparking a new-found love for the charming shade amongst theatre fans and the style conscious everywhere.
