Magenta & pinks are still a big fashion color trend & in style for 2023. Here’s what you need to know about everything from Viva Magenta to pastel pink
Pantone color of the year 2023 Viva magenta, is keeping hot pink and fuchsia very much still in fashion and one of the biggest color trends for 2023. A couple of fashion editors are moving towards softer pinks which are also trending. However, if the runway shows like Versace, Prabal Gurung, Giambattista Valli, Del Core and the Valentino Pink PP Collection are anything to go by I’m going to say that’s it’s most definitely the bright pinks and magentas that are the biggest fashion color trend for 2023. Magenta wasn’t just all over the Spring Summer 2023 fashion shows but Pantone announced ‘Viva Magenta’ as their 2023 Pantone color of the year. There’s also the upcoming Barbie movie to consider and we all know how heavily movies and pop culture influences our fashion trends. With Barbiecore already being a big fashion trend. So yes, hot pink is here to stay for 2023 and I couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been all over the hot pink color trend since it first started. It’s called dopamine dressing for a reason and there’s a lot to be said for the power of color to change your mood and color pyschology. So whether you fully embrace Barbiecore or just add a magenta bag or pair of shoes to your look, you’ll be right on trend for 2023.
What shades of pink are in style for 2023
It’s not just hot pinks and the Pantone color of the year 2023 ‘Viva Magenta’ hogging center stage. Ballet pink and softer pastel pinks were a big part of the 2023 runway shows and are also a nail color trend for 2023. Who What Wear is one of the fashion editors moving from magenta to pastels.
Some people may come for me for saying this because fuchsia is still very much a hot color…but super-saturated colors have never truly been my thing. I’ll personally be skipping bright pinks in favor of the softer ballet pink shades I saw plenty of throughout the S/S 23 collections.
Who What Wear
So if bright pinks too much for you, opt for one of these paler hues or style a neutral shade, pastels, pale grey or pretty blue with a fuchsia piece. It’s one of those colors that also works really well for statement evening wear. Basically you can’t go wrong whatever shade you want to wear to rock the pink color trend in 2023.
Pantone color of the year 2023
Viva magenta is the perfect color for 2023 although they’re clear to point out that it’s more of a “warm and cool red than a pink“. The color Viva Magenta represents:
Pantone’s Color of The Year, Viva Magenta 18-750, vibrates with vim and vigor…descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration…

What’s the difference between hot pink and Pantone color of the year 2023 Viva Magenta
Viva magenta isn’t quite the same as fuchsia or hot pink. It’s more of a neutral crimson red tone that’s a balance between warm and cool which means it suits most people.
This structured magenta pink mini dress is a Revolve best seller and top of my wishlist. It’d be super cute for Valentine’s Day.
