The winter season approaching us can rightfully be described as surprising when it comes to the colours that will dominate the wardrobes of women who closely follow fashion trends.
Let’s finally bid farewell to the austere shades of the past that evoked gloomy skies and harsh climates: today we do still see some timeless classics on the list, yet there is no shortage of hues that—until recently—would have been unthinkable to associate with winter wear.
His majesty, black
Time goes by, but certain classics never fade when we speak of colours in women’s clothing: one of them is black.
It will once again be a major protagonist in the upcoming winter months. To stay on-trend, it will be essential to have in your wardrobe the right pieces to create at least one total black look.
A word of caution: not just any garments! The rule for the cold months ahead is to invest in high-end tailored suits for women, true works of art crafted for those who can’t resist that touch of luxury that shaped fashion even in professional settings.
This approach—riding the wave of the vintage revival, driven in part by TikTok creators—continues to gain attention.
Among the reasons is the decline of the fast fashion boom, whose environmental and ethical shortcomings are by now well known even to those outside the fashion world.
Bordeaux, sensuality in the spotlight
Who said that to be sensual a woman must rely on revealing garments?
Sometimes all it takes is choosing a specific colour to completely shift the perception.
A perfect example is bordeaux, a shade experiencing tremendous success over the past couple of years.
In the coming months, we will see it more and more in pieces such as long coats—a delightful tribute to late-90s fashion—but also in wide-leg, masculin-cut trousers featuring wonderfully soft lines.
This is a versatile colour that, depending on its tone, works beautifully for a formal workplace outfit or for preparing an ensemble for a special evening.
Grey, elegance that never tires
Grey is another colour impossible to ignore when discussing women’s fashion for the upcoming winter.
Making it the star of your looks, especially in urban environments, brings with it a sense of effortless freedom.
Choosing this hue opens the door to numerous tones: from ethereal nuances—ideal for those seeking an elegant and subtly dreamy outfit—to darker shades, the perfect ally for women wanting to underline their charisma in settings that range from professional to seductive.
Yellow, from high summer to the heart of winter
Yes, you read that correctly: we are talking about yellow, a colour that until a few years ago dominated only during the summer months.
In winter 2025–2026, it will increasingly take the spotlight in women’s outfits, unmistakable thanks to its vibrant character.
The major fashion houses have made their recommendations very clear: in recent months we’ve seen this colour used on long coats, as well as skirts and sweaters, across major international runways.
Here too, there is no shortage of options: among the trendiest shades are mustard, the ultra-refined gold, and the super-pop lemon yellow.
Choosing yellow means leaving behind forever the idea that winter equals monotony: every season—regardless of temperature—is a good moment to express one’s uniqueness through clothing.
