The Trending Colors That Are Going To Rule Fashion This Winter
Matthew Cannon
We can't be the only ones who had Halsey's "Colors" running through our heads lately because, as she sings in the song, everything is blue for winter 2022/2023. Instead of a deep, dark navy blue that you usually expect to see for winter's short days, Marie Claire reports the fashion world has pivoted to light, brighter colors that are sure to turn heads and help boost moods.
For Simon Spurr, a designer, it signals a "return to more optimistic times ahead" (via InStyle). Shakaila Forbes-Bell, a fashion psychologist, explains that blue is not only supposed to help promote positive vibes, concentration, and relaxation, she told Marie Clarie that it's a color associated with "communication, trust, and security." She adds that if you're job hunting in 2023, make sure blue is a prominent color in your interview outfit.
Thanks to designers embracing what Vogue calls "elevated silhouettes" cobalt or ocean blue look as chic as navy blue, like the Mango's "asymmetric long jumpsuit" or "The Bubble Top" from Everlane. If you want to liven up your cold weather outerwear, try embracing multiple trends with L.L. Bean's "Women's Mountain Classic Puffer Jacket, Colorblock" in Marine Blue/Natural. For a more dressy look, we're eyeing up J.Crew's "Mirabelle topcoat in Italian wool-cashmere" in Mountain Blue.
