3 Unexpected Color Trends Winning Me Over

Friends! We had a hint of incredible weather this week in New York and I feel like that Nicole Kidman meme: ready to take on the world! First step: stashing my winter gear for good and turning my sights toward spring and summer outfits. The shoppies haven’t hit me quite yet (coming soon, I’m sure) so I’m mostly thinking about new color combinations I want to try. (Dopamine dressing is real!) These are the three I’m wearing first.

BURGUNDY AND CHARTREUSE

Imagine my surprise when I found out the colors I thought I so uniquely chose for my summer wedding turned out to be…extremely popular? Just goes to show that there are no new ideas! This unexpected pairing has a timelessness that works no matter the season so it’s no surprise that it’s a favorite.

CHOCOLATE BROWN AND ASH RED

I recently acquired a pair of brown Jacquemus x Nike sneakers and have been wearing them with an old pair of Tibi painter jeans. (Those are no longer on the market, but a pair currently available at Kallmeyer is a close match.) I find the combo to be less harsh than black and red, making it perfect for 50 degree spring and summer days.

ICE BLUE AND ROYAL PURPLE

I mentioned a few sends ago that royal purple has quickly become a favorite color of mine. It should come as no surprise that the color has landed on my list, too. A cooler shade of blue lends a soft touch to the bolder purple.
