The 9 Chicest Fashion Colour Combinations of 2025

Many would consider my sartorial palette to be boring—and while I prefer the word classic, I can understand this description. It mostly consists of black, browns and the occasional hint of vibrancy. Yet somehow, every season, colour trends are what excite me most, which is why my interest has been especially piqued by the key fashion colour combinations dominating in 2025.

During one of my many recent deep dives into the 2025 runways, I’ve concluded that the year ahead will be particularly fruitful in the colour department. Coming off the back of 2024, a year in which quiet luxury hues like burgundy and butter yellow defined the trends, it makes sense that designers would continue keeping colour at the forefront.

But the autumn colour pairings that stand out are the artful way designers are pairing trending shades to create sophisticated yet modern palettes. From cherry red with dusty rose to sandy beige alongside chocolate brown, the combinations—a mixture of clashing and complementary couplings—feel fresh and inspiring. Below, find my nine favourite examples and shop the pieces you need to try them out for yourself.

The 9 Chicest Fashion Colour Combinations of 2025

1. Dusty Rose + Tomato Red

Style Notes: This ‘clashing’ combination makes perfect sense, given that dusty rose and tomato red are individually two of the biggest colour trends right now. Wear it in the form of a cashmere jumper or more subtly through accessories.

2. Camel + Sky Blue

Style Notes: While we head towards winter, the runways are proving that your wardrobe doesn’t actually have to reflect the darkness synonymous with the season. Light and fresh shades are still taking centre stage, like this combination of cooler tones. Sky blue and sandy beige are an expensive-looking pairing that we’re set to see more of in 2025.

3. Terracotta + White

Style Notes: Prefer to stick to neutrals? Terracotta is the red-tinted cousin of rusty orange that feels infinitely wearable, but it looks especially elevated with pure white. This is a combination we’ll be backing all the way into the new year.

4. Butter Yellow + Black

Style Notes: Butter yellow made major waves last year, and it looks like it’s sticking around. No need to save it for the warmer months, though—use it to lift your all-black looks.

5. Navy + Hot Pink

Style Notes: Bright pink can sometimes feel a bit youthful or playful—navy is the colour companion it needs to give it a refined and sophisticated uplift.

6. Chartreuse + Chocolate Brown

Style Notes: Chartreuse if a love-it-or-hate-it shade, but designers like Bally have landed firmly on the ‘love’ side of the fence. Paired with rich, chocolate brown, the result feels incredibly luxurious.

7. Periwinkle + Candy Apple Red

Style Notes: Blue and red have always worked in perfect harmony. Two classic colours are better than one, as proven by Stella McCartney in her spring/summer 2025 show.

8. Sandy Beige + Mocha

Style Notes: If you’re colour-averse but trying to shift away from darker neutrals for the new year, this is the combination for you. Seriously, sand and mocha always look good together.

9. Latte + Royal Purple

Style Notes: Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are masters of colour pairing, which is why Prada’s spring/summer 2026 was a masterclass in eccentric and brushed aside combinations. This mixture of royal purple and latte is one that is rarely spotted, but incredibly chic, specifically when presented in unexpected fabrics like tulle or corduroy.
