7 Neon Color Trends That Everyone Will Be Wearing in Fall 2025

Certain color trends, though they might experience slight lulls and occasional high periods, are consistently popular. Black, cream, burgundy, and brown come to mind—as do pastels like soft pink, butter yellow, and baby blue. Variations of red, tan, and navy also have a steady hold on people’s wardrobes. And then there are the colors that can’t catch a break, particularly every hue that might be associated with the word “neon.” Often saved for costume parties, the hot pinks, vibrant oranges, and shocking yellows of the world get a bad rep, especially in the fashion world. For fall/winter 2025, though, designers seemed adamant about fixing the “tacky” color genre’s poor public perception.

At Prada, prints à la wallpaper from the 1970s balanced out the mostly charcoal-and-brown color palette, adding vibrancy and shock factor to the Italian brand’s fall collection. A similar effect could be found in Haider Ackermann’s debut for Tom Ford, where exquisite tailoring was combined with eye-catching shades of yuzu and lime. Alaïa, Tory Burch, Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Givenchy likewise leaned into neon shades, proving once and for all that saturated shades belong in fashion just as much as neutrals and pastels.

Clearly, Miuccia Prada has a thing for lime green. Not only did she and Raf Simons craft one of their standout Prada looks out of lime-green leather, but she also featured the controversial color in this season’s Miu Miu collection. Coincidence? I think not.

Orange has always been one of the trickiest colors to style, but thanks to brands like Tory Burch and Saint Laurent, interested dressers now have plenty of inspiration to use during their next orange styling session. Tip: Don’t be afraid to go bold with your look by either opting for a monochrome combination or pairing orange with other vibrant shades like lime green and cerulean.

If you’re on the hunt for an alternative to navy, I vote that you use the incoming warmer weather as an excuse to opt for something a little bit outside of your comfort zone, like cerulean. It’s loud and eye-catching, guaranteeing you plenty of compliments, whether you wear it now or in the fall when pieces by brands such as Alaïa and Tom Ford arrive in stores.

I know everyone’s abuzz about butter yellow (again), but if you’re interested in a shade that’s less ubiquitous and more up-and-coming, I suggest adding a touch of yuzu into your closet in 2025. Sarah Burton’s Givenchy debut included hyperelegant silhouettes in the vibrant shade, as did Ackermann’s debut for Tom Ford. Clearly, newness in 2025 is shocking, bold, and, yes, yellow.
