The most exciting time for fashion enthusiasts is here, with runways lighting up with what the top designers and brands have to offer in 2023. This year's seen a resurgence of chic, stylish, clothes that are swaying away from the post-pandemic 'comfort-practicality' delving more into comfort-chic and more outdoorsy ensembles. While the design sensibilities are in place, what we also keep an eye out for are the colours we spot on the runways. Here are eight colours we spotted that absolutely need to be in your wardrobe this year!
#TrendingFashion: 7 Colours You Need To Have In Your Wardrobe This Year
Yellow
Yellow is a colour that embodies summer, spring and sheer happiness. We've been seeing a lot of yellow mixed in with the other neutral colours on the runways. From the iconic Cate Blanchett donning a cool Stella McCartney power suit to Kerry Condon in a gorgeous pale yellow gown on the Oscars red carpet. Yellow is and will be a major colour this year, and here are a couple products you can add to your wardrobe to stay up to date.

Black
Even though black is perennially in vogue, this year expect it to be everywhere despite the seasons. Summer black will be huge this year, leaving the autumn and winter months, where black anyway dominates. We saw black take over Versace and Chanel's runways for Spring'23 and could not be more excited. Now we bet you already have this colour in your wardrobe, so why not pair it with the sheer trend and look your best self.

Olive Green
We've seen green accents pop up in home decor last year with it slowly trickling into fashion too. The likes of Ralph Lauren, who play heavily into the old money trend, are seen flaunting the colour. And if you don't want to lean into the old money vibe, then you can always opt for pieces like basic olive green cargo pants to green cropped tops, which you can never go wrong with!

Champagne
This year's awards season was all about the colour champagne, which were seen on mostly everyone from Anna de Armas to the stunning Salma Hayek. We love how royal the colour looks, making it perfect for night events or even day weddings! It's a colour that is flattering on everyone and is great for events.

Brown
Keeping up with the whole neutral game, several designers have added browns to their collection, which is quite understandable. Brown itself is a beautiful colour that has a lot of space to play around with. You can easily add brown to your wardrobe (if it's missing some) by buying brown pants, shirts, or even dresses if you're really a fan of the colour. It lends a super chic yet earthy vibe, making it a much appreciated summer colour.

Red
Red is a no-brainer colour that was spotted on several celebrities during award season and by designers like Marc Jacobs. We bet you already have tons of red in your wardrobe, but even if you don't, then we'd suggest not shying away from the colour that is bold, stylish and can make just about any outfit.

Pink
Even though Valentino pink had its moment last year, it continues to have its moment well into 2023 too. The colour is here to stay, along with pale pink and raspberry pink making huge waves on the runways. It's a colour that will never go out of style and is worth spending on.
