As the warm breeze of summer 2025 begins to blow, fashion enthusiasts around the globe are looking forward to a fresh wave of style inspirations. Moving away from the deep burgundy tones that dominated the winter of 2024, this summer ushers in a collection of colors that speak of renewal, femininity, and soft elegance. While Pantone’s “Mocca Mousse” takes the official crown as the Color of the Year, other standout shades are rapidly gaining popularity on runways and in street style.
