As New York Fashion Week has come to an end, the fashion community is left to analyze and predict trends for the upcoming season. As the trend cycle is always repeating, new elements are added every season that make the looks new and unique while old components are kept that remind us of past styles.
This season, brands commonly featured color palettes such as pastels and neutrals and silver jewelry and accessories. On clothing pieces, designers highlighted pieces studded with gems on the runway.
Neutral colors
Neutral colors have always been a staple part of every wardrobe, however, this season, high fashion brands have been leaning more towards these colors, specifically black, white, navy and brown.
Khaite spring summer 2025
As can be seen in the Khaite spring summer 2025 collection, designer Catherine Holstein used neutral colors in the pieces displayed. To compensate for this, she made sure the silhouettes of the pieces were bold to keep them visually interesting.
Jason Wu spring summer 2025
Pastel colors
Pastel colors were also prevalent on the runway this season, reminding spectators of late 90s styles.
Aiste Hong spring summer 2025
Designer Aiste Hong dipped her toes into the unique combination of color palettes, keeping her collection modern.
In this collection, the soft and bright colors attracted the attention of spectators.
Sergio Hudson spring summer 2025
Sergio Hudson, too, incorporated a variety of pastel colors into his spring summer 2025 collection, however, he chose to add metallic, sequin, and iridescent elements to make his collection stand out. This collection specifically prompts spectators to reminisce styles popularly featured on the runway in the 90s.
Silver
While gold jewelry and accessories have become a macrotrend as of late, often being considered timeless pieces, brands such as Area and Christian Cowan switched it up this season; silver was prevalent in their collections.
Area spring summer 2025
In Area’s spring summer 2025 collection silver belts, neck pieces, chains, and earrings were prevalent.
Christian Cowan spring summer 2025
Along with jewelry and accessories, Christian Cowan’s collection also featured silver clothing pieces.
Bejeweled clothing pieces
Lastly, the Ulla Johnson and Brandon Maxwell collections both featured clothing pieces studded with gems throughout their collections.
Ulla Johnson spring summer 2025
The gems that often contrasted with the pieces they were featured upon added depth to the clothing items in the Ulla Johnson collection.
Brandon Maxwell spring summer 2025
Likewise, the Brandon Maxwell spring summer 2025 collection popularly featured silver and black gems.
These similarities between pieces from different brand’s collections allow the public to speculate on which items will be popular in the future. This way, those interested in fashion can stay ahead of the curve. While many of these looks will largely remain popular in high fashion, some trends will make their way into mainstream fashion which is largely representative of the clothing that people wear on an everyday basis.
Next year, while big gems and bold silhouettes might only stay relevant in the high fashion world, we will see more of elements like silver jewelry and neutral and pastel colors in people’s everyday wardrobe.
You might be surprised as to which trends from New York Fashion Week will make it all the way from the catwalk to your closet.
