It's confirmed: In 2026, anyone with a keen sense of fashion will pair these two colors.

      If you're curious about upcoming major trends, just take a look at what Alexa Chung is wearing at any moment. For years, Chung has established herself as one of the most stylish individuals of our time. She effortlessly incorporates the latest trends into her wardrobe and has been known to influentially set quite a few herself. Currently attending Paris Fashion Week, a fitting venue for her presence, Chung has showcased another trend: the pairing of two color trends that are poised to become popular together—if the spring/summer 2026 runways are any indication. I’m talking about orange and the ever-popular color trend: chocolate brown. Brown continues to replace black as the go-to neutral, a trend likely to persist in the near future, and one simple way to keep it fresh is by introducing new color combinations. The spring/summer 2026 runways (including shows from Prada, Saint Laurent, and Ferragamo) have presented a plethora of orange, often paired with brown. Chung's outfit featuring a Saint Laurent lace orange top and a brown skirt, complemented by sheer brown tights, demonstrates how well these colors work together in real life. The mix is somewhat unexpected, slightly retro, and undeniably stylish. Keep scrolling to see this look on Chung as well as on the spring/summer 2026 runways, plus shop for some orange and brown pieces that would look fantastic together.
