Seen in Europe: The Most Stylish Color Combination I've Noticed This Summer
Honestly, this might just be the most beautiful and sophisticated summer color combination I've seen all season. During a rather early morning scrolling session, I came across a styling idea so stylish that it genuinely brightened my mood. Spotted on model Elsa Hosk—who has made her way to the English countryside with her typically chic wardrobe—I saw her in a baby blue satin dress paired with a buttery yellow Hermès handbag, leading me to feel inspired to recreate the look myself.
Inherently cheerful, this color pairing merges two of summer's most uplifting shades: vibrant yellow and soothing blue, forming a refreshing, mood-enhancing combination that exudes sunshine and calmness. Hosk styled her outfit with a skin-tight satin dress that reached her ankles, featuring delicate lace details and a sleeveless design. The dress alone served as an elegant foundation, but it was the eye-catching yellow bow accents—tied cutely at the shoulders—that truly animated the ensemble. Complementing the joyful detail, she finished the look with a bright yellow Hermès Kelly bag, harmonizing the color scheme.
The two shades complemented each other beautifully, infusing lightness and brightness into her outfit without appearing excessive. It's an effortlessly chic approach to embracing color during the warmer months. While this specific pairing may not have received much attention yet this summer, it was subtly highlighted on the spring/summer 2025 runways, with brands like Miu Miu, Rabanne, and Rokh experimenting with the color combination in their collections.
Although I adored Hosk's baby blue dress and yellow bag combination, this pairing is incredibly versatile. For instance, a butter-yellow blouse teamed with soft blue jeans provides an effortless, everyday way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe. Keep scrolling to discover this delightful color combination—and shop for some of the finest baby blue and yellow items to try this summer.
