While we wait to find out what the 2022 Pantone colors will be—the chromatic shades that will dictate fashion in terms of home decor and clothing—let's discover with Artigli which color palettes to use to build trendy looks for this Winter 2021/2022.
How to make the most of winter Pantone colors
Among the fashion colors this season, green stands out in its Leprechaun shade. It is a chromatic shade that comes from the Irish countryside and is usually associated with the industrious and legendary local leprechauns. Green, which has already been an absolute protagonist in recent months in its bottle, sage, grass, and olive variants, is back in vogue in this highly innovative chromatic version, to be chosen for a single item of clothing that will add just the right note of color to the entire outfit. Among the Pantone shades to explore are Green Bee, a grass green that celebrates the beauty of nature, and Olive Branch, a refined olive green that is a symbol of lush vegetation and rebirth.
Where there is winter, there is white, the color-non-color always associated with this time of year because it recalls the white layers of snow that characterize mountain landscapes. Among the absolute trends for the coming winter, the total white look stands out, with pullovers, cardigans, suits, and shoes strictly declined in optic white, cream, ivory, and the trendy Coconut Cream color.
Moving on to shades of blue which, in the recommended Pantone tones, range from Clear Sky, the shade associated with the sky blue of a clear day, to Ibiza Blue, an aggressive island blue nuance to wear to immediately grab attention. Those who prefer the tranquility of a known shade will take refuge in the certainty of After Midnight, a Pantone black with blue accents.
On global catwalks, beige has dominated, confirming itself as the queen neutral shade for color combinations. Beige coats and trousers will be the signature garments of this winter 2022, to be chosen in camel, biscuit, and Soybean shades, which presents itself as a delicate blonde beige. Perfectly Pale is the neutral Pantone shade in the winter palette, the warm reminiscence of a summer sandy beach in the cold months.
Purple has always been the color associated with mystery and magic. It is not a chromatic shade that lends itself to every mix, but it can be combined better if selected in its different nuances, which vary from lilac to dark purple, passing through lavender and wisteria. Yes to a total violet look, but also to the combination with fuchsia and mustard yellow. First Blush, on the other hand, is the tender and delicate pink that pairs with winter, to be used in elegant suits and cloth coats for a refined everyday life.
Winter in clothing: between bright colors and warm tones
Yellow is also one of the fashion colors of winter 2022: a burst of energy, optimism, and vitality that warms even the coldest winter days. A yellow sweater brightens the face and creates an immediate feeling of warmth even during long hours at the office. Pay attention to color analysis to choose the shade of yellow that best matches our undertone. Daylily is the warm yellow with orange accents that embraces the figure in a fascinating aura, while Illuminating is the cheerful and optimistic shade of yellow that brings the sun even when darkness advances in the early hours of the afternoon.
Brown is the earthy color par excellence, the one that immediately brings to mind the autumn season. Well, we will also wear it in winter, especially combined with orange and red, for a more eccentric style, or with white and beige for a minimalist and sober effect. Brown, therefore, confirms itself as a trendy color to wear both for clothing items and for accessories, such as bags and boots. Tomato Cream is the seductive brown that warms the heart and the outfit, while Downtown Brown is the brown that recalls metropolitan atmospheres, perfect for a high-impact urban look.
For some time now, gray has abandoned its patina of a boring color and has rightfully become one of the most glamorous and elegant colors. The pearly shade is a must-have of the winter season, especially regarding coats and trousers, while smoke gray is chosen for suits and long coats. Among all the possible shades of gray, Ultimate Gray is the color that gives an immediate feeling of security and reliability; serious, composed, but not trivial.
We conclude this roundup of colors from the Pantone palette reserved for Autumn/Winter 2021/2022 with the shades of red that will be trendy this winter, and to be precise, we are focusing on Red Alert, a high-impact Pantone red, and Winery, a robust and very refined wine-red.
