Autumn Winter 2027-28 Womenswear Colour Trend Forecast
 
One forecast to define your AW27-28 palette direction from concept to final product.
 
The Autumn Winter 2027-28 Womenswear Colour Trend Forecast translates the cultural shifts shaping the season into a focused colour framework for womenswear, helping you identify which shades deserve space, how they should work together and where they belong across product.
 
Rather than working through disconnected colour references, the forecast brings macro context, 12 micro colour stories, Pantone TCX references, palette relationships, surface behaviour and product application into one connected edit. It gives you a stronger foundation for making colour decisions across concept development, product planning and your collection.
 
What’s inside:
Three macro colour narratives
The wider cultural forces shaping the mood, meaning and emotional role of colour for AW27-28.
Twelve micro colour stories
Focused palette stories translating each macro into precise tonal shifts, colour relationships and commercially relevant opportunities.
Curated Pantone TCX references
Specific colour references to support palette building, product development and communication across creative and product teams.
Colour harmony + pairing
Guidance on how hero shades, supporting tones and accents work together to create a more cohesive seasonal palette.
Surface + pigment intelligence
A closer look at how colour behaves through diffusion, translucency, saturation, mineral depth, layering and finish.
Colour to product
Practical guidance for translating each colour story across womenswear categories, materials and product development.
 
What it helps you decide:
Identify the colours that deserve space in AW27-28 and understand the role each one should play.
Build stronger relationships between hero shades, supporting tones and accents rather than treating colour as a series of isolated choices.
Translate wider cultural shifts into commercially usable colour decisions without losing your brand identity.
Connect palette decisions to material, surface, silhouette and product so colour works as part of a complete seasonal story.
Create a more distinctive and cohesive colour edit from early concept through to final product.
