The thought of living in a beige linen co-ord set all summer is so tempting, but it’s a real disservice to your wardrobe. So hit pause on the set and start living in some colours. Realistically speaking, any colour can work for summer as long as you remember to make it light, make it bright, and make it breathable. But if you need some inspo, here are some colour combinations for summer.
Sage Green + Tan Brown
Before butter yellow, there was sage green. We’re not kidding, the pastel was the colour for spring, and we’re bringing it back for summer. Paired with tan brown and cream-white accessories, and we have ourselves a light summer outfit.
Bright Red and Denim Blue
Even though the Gulf heat can make wearing denim a challenge, we still can’t deny that denim with bright red absolutely eats. Denim blue jeans and a bright red top? Classic. Denim blue dress with bright red accessories? Chic. No matter the style, the combination just works.
Baby Pink + Grey
While it isn’t the most common colour combination for summer, it definitely works at balancing fun and seriousness. So, if you’re in a serious environment but still want to be playful, add this underrated summer combo.
Pink + Cream
Coming to a more common colour combo involving pink, you can never go wrong with a pink and cream outfit. It screams feminine chic and is one of the easiest outfit pairings to work into a summer wardrobe.
Butter Yellow + Chocolate Brown
Summer is the time to replace black with other colours. Chocolate brown makes a perfect neutral to butter yellow. If you have a warm undertone, this colour combination will complement your skin tone even more.
Denim Blue + Orange
After the Huda Beauty x Saint Levant collab, orange has been on our minds lately. And instead of pairing orange with neutrals, how about pale blue denim? Darker denim will also work, but it might not be a combo for everyone. If incorporating a bold orange sounds intimidating, start small by making it an accent colour to a classic denim blue and white t-shirt outfit.
Lilac + Green
Although green has been all over the runways these past few seasons, green and purple is an underrated colour combo. To make this summer friendly, head for the pastels.
Blue + Butter Yellow
We’re not going to stop with the butter yellow pairings since it’s undoubtedly the colour of the season. If you’ve seen this colour everywhere but don’t know how to incorporate it into your style, try denim blue, a classic pairing.
True White + Any Colour
White is undeniably a summer hero, just like black is for winter. That’s because the colour white reflects sunlight, which helps to keep cool, so we naturally gravitate towards white in the summers. If you’re ever stuck on what to wear, simply pair white with any colour of the rainbow, and now you have a breezy summer outfit.
Butter Yellow + Burgundy
Combine last season’s colour trend with this year’s, the combination works surprisingly well! To avoid falling in the winter category tho, we recommend making butter yellow the star and burgundy the accent piece.
