Summer Has Arrived! Here are 4 Fun and Stylish Color Combinations I've Noticed Fashion Enthusiasts Sporting.

      I once believed that summer was the perfect season to try out new wardrobe styles, but I've come to realize that the unpredictable weather often leaves me stuck in a style rut instead. I find myself spending half the season closely monitoring the weather app, anxious about what the next day will bring, and the other half tidying up and organizing my closet. Once I finally sort through my clothes, I focus all my energy on getting ready for summer. What’s first on my list? Finalizing my color palette. Summer is truly the best time to unleash creativity and play with vibrant and daring colors. My social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, and Substack) are filled with creators showcasing various color pairings—in fashion, home decor, and even in food. It’s visually pleasing, and I want to bring that aesthetic into my wardrobe. I explored a myriad of colorful inspirations for the season and discovered four standout combinations that are not only eye-catching but also wearable. Continue scrolling to check out the color pairings I'll be trying this summer.

      1. Butter Yellow + Bright Red

      Style Notes: Red is a striking color, but pairing it with a soft and light shade like butter yellow just feels so right.

      Shop the Look:

      - **Reformation**: Britt Ballet Flat

       These mesh ballet flats would complement the Zara midi dress beautifully.

      - **Reformation**: Alleia Satin Two Piece

       In my view, a matching set is always a win, especially in butter yellow.

      - **A.Emery**: Flora Leather Sandals

       I find that any shade of red looks stylish with butter yellow, so if bold colors aren’t your thing, this softer tone would work perfectly.

      - **& Other Stories**: Asymmetric Wrap-Knot Midi Dress

       This would be ideal for a vacation or lunch with friends.

      2. Bright Red + Cerulean Blue

      Style Notes: If you want to temper the boldness of red with another vibrant color, I recommend cerulean. Doesn’t this mix instantly bring happiness? Red and blue complement each other well since they are both primary colors, but opting for cerulean instead of the usual cobalt gives this pairing a fresh twist.

      Shop the Look:

      - This looks much more expensive than its £28 price.

      - **Ancient Greek Sandals**: Saionara Jelly PVC Flip Flops

       Many editors and fashion enthusiasts love this red flip flop. I can foresee the blue becoming a trend!

      - **Polo Ralph Lauren**: Slim Fit Rib-Knit Cotton Tee

       This is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a quality slim-fit red tee.

      I’ve observed numerous fashion influencers wearing this pair of Speedcats this summer.

      3. Mint Green + Burgundy

      Style Notes: Who knew mint green and deep burgundy could go together? Not me—until I noticed this cool color combination appearing throughout my feed. I typically wear burgundy in fall and winter, but this mix allows me to enjoy it in summer too.

      Shop the Look:

      - **Nobodys Child**: Burgundy Flossie Midi Dress

       This dress transitions beautifully from a summer garden party to a pub lunch.

      - **ADANOLA**: Gingham Drawstring-Waist Cotton Shorts

       With gingham being on-trend this summer, these shorts are a fun way to integrate it while exploring mint green.

      - **Reformation**: Simona Cylinder Bag

       Surprisingly spacious for its size!

      - **COS**: Boxy Long-Sleeved T-Shirt

       Pair it with your favorite leather jacket and denim pants for a colorful look that feels fresh and effortless.

      - **Heaven Mayhem**: Spiral Gemstone Beaded Pendant Necklace

       This piece perfectly connects your burgundy touches to your favorite gold jewelry.

      4. Dark Brown + Chartreuse Green

      Style Notes: We have Miuccia Prada to thank for the trendiness of this color pairing, as she often uses it in her collections. Who else but Prada would think to match a vibrant green with a rich brown?

      Shop the Look:

      - **Nobodys Child**: Brown Colorado Midi Dress

       I’m all about the functional elegance a dress with pockets brings.

      - **Mango**: Linen-Blend Straight Skirt

       I suspect this set will sell out quickly.

      - **Mango**: Satin Shirt With Draped Detail

      - **OSOI**: Brocle Buckle Leather Shoulder Bag

       My quickest add-to-cart this year.
