Must-Have Wardrobe Items in Each of Pantone’s Fall/Winter 2018 Colors
You probably know Pantone as the company responsible for those trendy little paint swatches we millennials think are so chic. (You know, the ones we’ve turned into art installations—or rendered ironic.) But in the fashion world, Pantone is known for something way more important: the seasonal trend report.
Each season (fall/winter, spring/summer), Pantone releases a list of the trendiest swatches around. These colors are up-and-comers—shades Pantone expects will pervade the cultural zeitgeist over the next few months. And all of them are pulled from designer collections shown at New York Fashion Week.
