2022 Spring/Summer Trends

As we begin this year, we wonder what this year will bring. We are hopefully, yet cautiously optimistic. As the virus seems to be coming to an endemic stage & treatments become available, we look toward the light at the end of the tunnel and start to plan picking up our lives where we left off in 2020.

Bold colors are one of the main themes of 2022, highlighting optimism, travel, better health and prosperity. WGSN lists the "key colors" of 2022/2023 as being lavender, burnt yellow, rusty red, icy blue, and seaweed green with colors starting off in pastel hues in the Spring and getting bolder and brighter in the Summer. Some key colors of the Summer to are expected to be hot pink, canary yellow, blood orange, emerald green, and royal azure blue. Fall and moving into 2023 we can expect more deeper, and muted colors, such as a deep eggplant purple, burnt sienna, and copper.
