The Unexpected Shades That Will Replace Red and Green This Holiday Season

At this point, we know what to expect already for the end-of-the-year festive marathon. But this 2025, a much-needed injection of color authority enters the arena. With their upcoming holiday collection, Plains & Prints challenges the titular reds and greens that usually dominate Christmas parties, and welcomes a new color palette that feels like a breath of fresh air for the season.

Saffron Yellow

Goodbye to the buttery hue that once ruled summer. A new shade from the family has arrived, and it brings with it an immediate sense of celebration. Saffron Yellow is a rich, sun-drenched tone that is neither muted nor harsh, making it utterly unique for the holiday circuit. It’s an optimistically chic color that’s perfect for daylight gatherings or evening Noche Buena dinners.

Burnt Sienna

Plains & Prints’ new collection also introduces Burnt Sienna as its undeniable anchor of grown-up warmth. This deep, earthen reddish-brown shade is incredibly versatile and feels instantly elevated with its depth. It essentially acts as the most expensive-looking neutral in your holiday closet.

Pinstripe White

An all-white ensemble is already a statement, but if it’s punctuated with minimalist red lines, then it gives an interesting nod to retro sensibilities. It’s cool, it’s crisp, and it contrasts beautifully against bolder colors.

Color Blocking

And perhaps the most exciting color trend yet isn’t limited by just one shade. The coup de grace of Plains & Prints’ upcoming collection is the presentation of expertly combining different hues in one outfit through Color Blocking. Intentionally dynamic, it’s the easiest, most sophisticated way to stand out at any event. Bonus points if you play with both color and texture.

While the classics can be comforting, maybe it’s time to consider taking a detour from tradition with Plains & Prints’ refreshing wheel of vibrancy.

The Plains & Prints Holiday 2025 Collection officially drops nationwide with initial styles on November 7.
