5 Colors to Try This Summer (That Aren’t Just White or Bright)

Florian Knit Dress

Santos Pants

While everyone else is reaching for hot pink and linen white, this season invites a more sophisticated palette. Think beyond the obvious. From soft pistachio to rich clay, these hues are quietly redefining warm-weather style—on runways, in street style, and now, in your closet.

1. Dusty Pistachio

Isabella Midi Dress

V-Neck Mini Slip Dress

A whisper of green with an ultra-modern twist. It’s softer than lime, fresher than sage—and incredibly chic paired with ivory, caramel, or light denim.

2. Marigold Ochre

Malta Maxi

Sleeveless Linen Blend Maxi Dress

More grounded than sunshine yellow, but brighter than mustard. This goldenrod shade brings a refined glow to your summer palette without feeling too seasonal.

3. French Clay

Fawn Sweetheart Embroidered Eyelet Midi Dress

Flutter-Sleeve V-Neck Bow A-Line Mini Dress

Part terracotta, part blush—this muted burnt rose is the grown-up way to wear pink. It plays beautifully with white, sand, and navy.

4. Ink Blue

Deeper than navy and cooler than cobalt, this inky shade elevates everything it touches. It’s the underdog of the summer neutrals, but quietly powerful.

5. Plum Smoke

A moody mauve with cool undertones. Feminine without being fussy, and absolutely ideal for evening dressing.

Style Note:

Summer is not just about bright colors—it’s about smart color. These under-the-radar shades are here to bring depth, refinement, and that unexpected touch editors live for.
