Color Chronicles: Exploring the Dominant Hues of the New Year

If the global fashion weeks of 2023 have revealed anything, it’s that bold, fresh, and colorful pieces are going to be taking over people’s closets in the next year. From deep dark reds to traditional winners like black and gray dresses, 2024 is already shaping up to be a “colorful” year.

If you missed the runway shows of last year but are interested in enhancing your appearance with the right color trends for your skin tone and some of this year’s best hues and tones, check out our list for some of the must-have colors to incorporate into your looks.

Pistachio

While it might seem a little early to start thinking about spring, it’ll be here before you know it. This year, you can expect to see an influx of pistachios, as they’re the perfect pop of color to add to almost any ensemble. Additionally, it’s known to be flattering for a wide range of skin tones and is a popular eyeshadow all year.

Practically Navy

Is your closet full of black mock-neck tops? According to the predicted color styles for 2024, a color that’s “practically navy” is becoming more popular. This deep blue hue is so close to classic navy but has a hint of more color. It goes really well when worn with bright colors like orange, yellow, and red.

Lilac

Whether it’s a pair of women’s Athens sneakers in lilac or a flowing top, this is another color you’re going to see a lot of this year. It’s feminine and romantic, perfect for special occasions or even just a casual day out. And if you’re feeling extra daring, try pairing it with another trendy color—pistachio.

Crimson

It doesn’t matter if you’re from Milan or South Haven, Michigan; you can add a vibrant touch to any outfit via a pair of crimson shoes, a scarf, or even your lipstick. Crimson is also great for adding some extra zing to any ensemble.

Viva Magenta

Named Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023, Viva Magenta appears to be here to stay. It’s a bright and energetic color that reminds me of good red wine, and whether you’re incorporating it through a statement piece or mixing it with other colors, it’s sure to make a bold statement.

Mint Green

This soft hue adds a touch of freshness and youthfulness to an outfit, making it perfect for spring and summer. And as a bonus, it’s also a calming color that can help reduce stress and anxiety.

Canary Yellow

This cool, bright yellow color can easily brighten up your day, even when it’s cloudy. You can use it for your whole outfit just for a fun, single-color look, or add a little for a surprise pop of color. Style canary yellow with black tones for a modern look, and it can make a great look for fall and winter too.

Millennial Pink

If you couldn’t get enough of that uber-popular light pink back in 2015, chances are you’re part of the millennial generation. This pink, known as ‘Millennial Pink’, was everywhere—from home decor magazines to school planners and even wedding color themes. Just when it seemed like Gen Z was taking over, Millennial Pink is back in style. Fashion designer Tory Burch even had a mini dress in Millennial Pink with a unique hemline in her Spring/Summer ’24 collection.

As we approach the new year, there’s no better time to refresh your wardrobe with these vibrant and trendy hues. Embrace the color palette of 2024 with open arms, and let your style make a statement that is as bold and dynamic as these colors themselves.
