Spring 2027 is heading down the runway and Pantone has released the hottest colors we will see in the new year. As you can see, the color trends for spring 2027 are shifting. The hues are vivid, cheerful, and traditionally spring/summer. Love that!

There is starting to be a shift away from an all-neutral look to color mixing. The shift is giving us color blocking, tonal looks, and mixing colors in an unexpected way for spring. Instead of bold prints, the transition from mixed neutrals is mixed colors. You no longer need to pair blue with grey or black, you can pair it with lavender, pink, or any color you’re in the mood for. This upcoming spring 2027 season will give us colorful options and combos, so get ready!

The top five neutral hues are pushing the boundaries of neutral. Blue Indigo offer a blue-grey look instead of a traditional navy for spring. Antique white offers variety since it can be paired with any combination of hues. Of course, Dolphin can be any grey you already have in your wardrobe from past seasons, so you’ll be able to shop your closet for that hue! Look for these five colors when investing in neutrals for spring, they will give you an easy backdrop for styling your looks.

Pantone recognized three standout colors for the spring/summer 2027 season. Princess Blue, Lavender Oil, and Rosy Future. Look for these colors to explode in popularity in the new year.

Which colors are your favorites? I love Rosy Future, Waterfall, and Antique White. I will be watching store shelves for these colors so I can add them to my wardrobe! They would make beautiful nail polish colors too!

Happy almost fall! Although temperatures outside are soaring, it is prime-time to organize our wardrobes for the upcoming fall season; after all, Labor Day is almost here!

Before running out to the mall and shopping until we drop, it is best to shop our closets first; this will help us save money and not purchase duplicates for our wardrobes. The styles from year to year don’t change that much, so chances are, we all have some of the most perfect items for fall already sitting in our drawers and closets.

So, without further ado, let’s take this article to our closets, and start shopping! The best part, this type of shopping is free! Love that!

The fall 2026 season is still understated; although we are starting to see some pops of color, they are traditional autumn hues thus season.

Step One: For the fall 2026 season, pull forward all items in neutral hues, dark berry/red shades, all the greens in your closets, dark yellows, quiet blues and dark purples. These will be the colors complementing your neutral shades of brown, ivory, black, grey, and beige.

Step Two: Move all of your obvious summer clothing to the back of your closet.

Step Three: Wide leg, barrel, and classic cut jeans are still here. Make sure those styles are moved forward in your closet. You want your jeans to be clean, no cute or frays, and in shades of medium to dark wash, black, brown, and beige.

Step Four: Anything your own in leather or suede, that is not a shoe or handbag, bring forward. This fall, suede and leather are hot, so you can rock that leather skirt, suede jacket, and more. If you don’t own anything leather, and love the look, add a suede jacket or skirt to your fall shopping list.

Step Five: Stripes! Horizontal stripes are still hot. Keep your summer stripes, your 2025 stripes, and your 2024 stripes in the front of your closet. They are still hot.

Step Six: Sweaters. Keep all of your short sleeve and cardigan sweaters front and center in your drawers. You will reach for these sweaters a lot during the fall season.

Step Seven: Nail Polish. Chances are you own pink nail polish. If not, check out Chanel’s new pink and Dior’s new pink. I love these.

Step Eight: Re-Read my handbag trend article and organize your handbag collection accordingly. Chances are that you own the perfect fall handbag already.

Step Nine: Pull out all your boots, loafers, classic high heels and Mary Janes. These are the footwear styles you will be rocking this fall season.

Step Ten: Did you save your pleated skirts from several years ago? I hope so! If not, you might add this flattering style to your shopping list for fall. Pleats are back bay-bee! Bring those pleats forward in your closet.

Well, that’s it! You can always refer to my fall trends post for more ideas about what to bring forward in your closet. In this post, I highlighted what I think most people have from recent fall seasons in their closets. Hopefully this saves you some money for the fall season. Enjoy filling in your wardrobe with a few new investment pieces! Remember, stay classic and look for high quality. Logos are a no-no.

Thanks for stopping by and stay fabulous!

Fall 2026 handbag trends

The fall 2026 season is upon us, which means the hottest handbag trends for fall 2026 are here! That being said, personal style transcends trends, so pick the style which works for your lifestyle, not because it is perceived to be “hot.”

Ok, let’s dive!

The overall vibe for fall 2026 handbags includes the continuation of The Anonymous Handbag. Continue investing in handbags which are high quality and don’t shout who made them. Logos are still quite gauche.

In addition, continue to rock those vintage IT bags, belted totes, and east/west styles. They are still all the rage!

So, when it comes to fall, check your closet for these styles, and invest in what you need, want, and must have in your investment bag collection!

Autumnal Hues: Rich browns, reds, and especially greens are hotter than hot for fall. This fall looks a lot like fall when it comes to color. So indulge!

Suede: Suede is a fall favorite; suede handbags are everywhere! You might have one or two which survived last season, and if not, invest in a new one within a reasonable price range. After all, suede is soft and nice when it is new, but it is easy to stain, and it does not like getting caught in the rain. So, keep the suede bags at a reasonable price so if they get ruined, you won’t care.

Doctor Bags and Bowler Bags: These classic handbag styles are gaining popularity; not that they ever went out of style, but, look for both styles as well as the two fused together. Is it a bowler? Is it a doctor? Eh, who cares! It’s cute!

The Shoulder Bag: Classic shoulder bags are hot but tucked in the armpit like last year. This year’s straps should hit around the bottom of your ribcage. Chances are that you already own one. If you have a classic Chanel flap or 2.55, this simply means wears the strap double. Love that!

Well, there are the notable fall 2026 handbag trends to seek out in our closets, and possible fill in our closets with something new. Love! Which trends matches your personal styles?

Thanks for stopping by!
