Looking like a fashionista is simpler than you might believe—just combine these two color trends.
For what seems like an eternity, neutral tones have been the mainstay in the color palette, but at last, some surprising hues are making their debut, largely thanks to Jennifer Lawrence—though there are others involved as well. The Silver Linings Playbook star was recently spotted in the West Village, enjoying an iced matcha while taking in New York's unexpected warm, sunny weather. For her casual outing, she wore a striped button-up shirt from The Row, paired with unexpectedly bold cropped orange trousers. To complement her outfit, she opted for butter-yellow suede loafers from The Row, creating a color pairing that may seem unconventional at first. However, yellow and orange are swiftly rising in the fashion world, poised to follow in the footsteps of purple and red or blue and red, which gained traction earlier this spring. While this combination hasn't been seen together frequently, if anyone’s street style can kickstart a color trend, it’s Lawrence’s. This wouldn’t be her first time doing so.
What sets this color pairing up for success in 2026 is the current buzz surrounding both colors—visible in trendy cities such as NYC, Paris, and Los Angeles, as well as on the runways of prestigious designers including Loewe, Calvin Klein, Colleen Allen, Tory Burch, Valentino, Hermès, Givenchy, and more. Until now, these shades have mainly been styled in monochromatic outfits; however, with color clashing gaining popularity in 2026, it was only a matter of time before they were paired together to create striking ensembles. If you want to try out wearing orange and yellow like Lawrence, keep scrolling. The best pieces in these colors are available for purchase below.
