Spring 2022 will deliver some of the boldest colors yet, from neon green to hot pink. Mood-boosting hues were so prominent on the runways from New York to Paris, it felt like an invitation to add Spring color trends into our wardrobe, whether we add a pop of pink with accessories or opt for head-to-toe brights in a monochromatic blue suit.

As we emerge from the pandemic and anxiously look forward to brighter days, fashion designers are gravitating toward scarlet, sky blue, and bright fuschia hues as vibrant colors to wear this spring. David Koma embraced the saturated color theme with sheer, feather-trimmed neon-sunshine gowns, while Versace enlivened party attire with a sequin two-piece skirt set drenched in hot pink.

Minimalist dressers need not worry though. Designers also provided softer options like lilac and salted caramel that look just as elevated. Indeed, Chloé's Gabriela Hearst offered up a sharply tailored suit that will easily transition from daytime meetings to sunset dinners, while Jonathan Simkhai's lavender rib-knit set raised the standard for at-home lounging.

We hardly had to deliberate over the nine big winners for this spring's color trends. Ahead, feast your eyes on soft lilac, which is surprisingly sleek and offers a new perspective on purple; sunny canary yellow; moody hot pink; salted caramel; bold scarlet; mystifying sky blue; rich green; neon green; and illuminating yellow.

Soft Lilac

If ever there was a time to adopt a new favorite color, it's now with soft lilac trending on the runway. For anyone who's said they don't like purple, this shade, with its gray undertone and a pastel-like finish, will win you over. Though it may be easy on the eyes, it still commands attention in power-suit form. Don't underestimate the person wearing it.

Canary Yellow

Even when this season's yellow veers a bit more toward lemon, it still has that wonderfully chalky finish that feels more elevated than gold or highlighter shades. Spotted at Alexander McQueen and Chanel, it's bound to find its way onto some of our most prominent wardrobe staples.

Hot Pink

Somewhere between fuchsia and magenta lies this brilliant shade of pink, which some might refer to as rhodamine red. It's more purplish than Barbie but still undeniably fun — and it holds a lot of power. That's why we're seeing it on statement looks like jumpsuits, co-ord sets, and dresses.

Salted Caramel

Meet the 2022 neutral that's way more upbeat than khaki or tan. It looks especially stylish juxtaposed with punchy shades like purple or softened by peach. Follow Miuccia Prada's lead at Miu Miu and wear it layered with multiple shades of brown or grab one of the aforementioned brights for a chic pop of color.

Scarlet

In most instances, the tinge of orange in this season's scarlet is so bold, it can stand on its own. Pair it with neutral accessories to make the hue pop, or color block with softer tones like lavender for an eye-catching combo.

Sky Blue

The new blue for 2022 is open to interpretation. Whether you lean toward cornflower or cyan, the color trend is still reminiscent of a clear, cloudless sky. Balance it out with white piping or accessories, or go for the monochrome look with the matching shoes, jacket, or bag.
