They say April showers bring May flowers—but let’s not pretend it’s all sunshine and daisies. The air gets warmer, the days stretch out like silk gloves, and suddenly, your wardrobe wants a little more mischief… and a lot more mood.
Whether you’re casting spells in vintage lace or strutting in head-to-toe pink like you own the courtroom and the catwalk, this is your ultimate May color palette and outfit inspiration guide, for every aesthetic under the (sometimes stormy) spring sky. Because May isn’t just a month, she’s a muse, darling. And she expects you to show up dressed accordingly.
The Romantic Dreamer
Palette: Blush pink, lavender, buttercream, sky blue
Outfit Inspo: Think puff sleeves, vintage-inspired dresses, soft cardigans, and dainty ballet flats.

The Minimalist
Palette: Charcoal, stone, sage, crisp white, soft beige
Outfit Inspo: Tailored trousers, oversized button-downs, sleek slip dresses, and boxy blazers. Your accessories are gold, your shoes are structured, and your energy is editor-in-chief on her day off.
Mood: That girl who orders an iced oat latte and reads on the train.
The Maximalist (KUNTSTATION APPROVED💋)
Palette: Cobalt blue, marigold, magenta, emerald, tangerine

The Clean Girl (Reimagined)

The Y2K Baddie

Mood: Watermelon slices, laughter in your throat, music in your soul.
How to Wear Your Mood:
Fashion in May is all about freedom, trying something new, leaning into your feelings, and using color to elevate your everyday. Don’t be afraid to mix aesthetics. Some days you’re a minimalist. Others? You’re in full glam with a flower behind your ear.
