Fall 2025 Pantone Color Forecast: Wearable Colors for Midlife Women

Pantone has released the official Fall/Winter 2025 color forecast, and the runways are buzzing with rich browns, bold reds, deep plums, and even a few surprising curveballs. But which of these shades will actually work in YOUR wardrobe? That’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this week’s Midlife Moxie podcast episode.

In this episode, Gail and Jen unpack the Pantone forecast straight from New York Fashion Week. We explain what Pantone is, why their forecasts matter, and the difference between seasonal palettes and the much-hyped “Color of the Year.”

Highlights from our conversation:

• The Brown Takeover: From Chili Oil to Hot Chocolate to Bronze Brown, browns are everywhere. Find out which shades flatter warm vs. cool undertones.

• Wearable Reds & Berries: Winterberry and Poppy Red bring fresh holiday vibes without overwhelming softer coloring.

• Universal Blue Love: Lion’s Blue might be the most versatile shade in the palette—gorgeous on almost everyone.

• The Oddballs: Lemongrass and Branded Melon… will they work in real life? We share our honest takes.

• Neutrals & Classics: From Bright White to Crown Blue, these shades anchor the season’s trends.
