When I think of winter fashion, I think of fashion people gravitating toward warm neutrals among a sea of everyone else wearing typical black coats. In the rush to feel as warm as possible, comfort comes first, and that occasionally means that the concept of wearing color goes out the window.
I’m on a mission to make things different this year by adopting some bright and fun colors. I did a lot of scrolling to discover the best color schemes from the fall 2023 runways and also snuck in some options that ruled the spring 2024 runways for early adopters, and these common themes must be noted. Below, find the five winter color trends every fashion person will be wearing in 2024.
This fall, striking shades of red pulled every neutral lover out of their shell. People were adopting this bold pop of color like no other. In winter, I think the fashion crowd will find themselves wanting something a bit deeper and gravitating toward oxblood accessories and staples.

This bold shade of purple has been associated with royalty since BCE years. Since it’s a less popular colorway right now, wearing it shows everyone that you have a love for fashion. I love mixing and matching this colorway with other bold hues.

Okay, okay. I know I said this list was for colorful trends, but black has a chokehold on me right now, and it deserves a mention. When styled right, it steps away from the aforementioned "boring black coats" and feels like a moment. The number of ways to put together an all-black outfit is endless, so don’t worry if your closet is filled with only black pieces. All-black looks are an easy way to make a statement, and if you want to look like a real New Yorker, it’s a go-to.
