Each year, PANTONE releases color trends that indicate the fashion direction for the next season and provide clear color references for apparel design, buying, and selling. The 2025/2026 Fall/Winter New York Fashion Week Top Ten Trend Colors and Five Classic Colors once again focus on the fusion of natural emotion, vintage flair, and urban temperament.
This time, the color selections continue to inject more sensory layers based on practicality, responding to the rhythm of the modern city, but also communicating attention to the inner self and the natural world. For apparel brands and fabric suppliers, this color guide will directly impact the next product design direction and market preferences.
As a puffer jacket manufacturer focusing on R&D and production of puffer apparel for more than 20 years, Liling Clothing has covered a variety of spot colors in line with PANTONE’s fall/winter trend with its professional color selection logic and rich inventory system. Meanwhile, it supports OEM and ODM customization service, which allows customers to quickly land the design inspiration at the cutting edge of fashion and seize the first opportunity in the market.
This season, the color language recommended by PANTONE is no longer a single dimension of flare or minimalism, but a blend of familiar soft tones and a deep sense of history. The report emphasizes color as a means of emotional expression, reflecting the changes in people’s current lifestyles – the search for balance between digital technology and the perception of reality, and the search for serenity during the hustle and bustle.
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of PANTONE, said, “We are seeing that the expression of color is becoming more comfortable, sincere and diverse, and that people are redefining what ‘haute couture’ is – no longer just a luxurious appearance, but a connection that comes from nature and memory. ”
