I don’t know about you, but I find looking at all the new colors on the catwalks inspirational for creating my own style. Adding a new color, or combining the existing colors you have in a different way, is a great way to update your look. In this article, you’ll find all the best spring clothing colors for 2023.

Take a look below at the 12 color trends that were most prevalent on the designer runways, and see which one you love most. You’ll also find outfits created from high street options inspired by the designer color trends.
Earthy oranges
Hermès – Alberta Ferretti – Isabel Marant
Earthy shades are usually associated with Fall. However, there were plenty of spicey, rust, terracotta type shades of orangey-brown on the catwalks for spring 2023. To give your orange a spring or summer feel, you could combine with white, as shown with the white blazer outfit (below).
Also take a look at our popular article on how to wear orange.

magenta
Giambattista Valli – Prabal Gurung – Alberta Ferretti
Next up, magenta. This shade of purplish-red can be a tricky one to wear, as it can look old fashioned. But, if you keep the shapes of your clothes very modern, you can make magenta look hip. The Eileen Fisher top (below) features a modern, funnel neck, that is perfect for giving your magenta outfits stylish, clean lines.

spring clothing colors 2023 – Olive green
Alberta Ferretti – Victoria Beckham – Brandon Maxwell
There were plenty of olive greens on the catwalks. This color can look especially hip with white to create a look perfect for the warmer months. I love the combination of olive, white and black (below). The Open Edit blazer (below) would also be perfect to wear with jeans and a white t-shirt.

pale pink
Victoria Beckham – Giambattista Valli – VETEMENTS
Designers added a touch of romance to their looks, with plenty of pale pink. I would follow the lead of Victoria Beckham or Vetements (above) and wear your pale pink in structured, tailored suits, or you could mix your pink with black (as shown below) if you have a wedding outfit to plan this year.
