I’m a minimalist dresser, but as soon as summer rolls around I tend to become a bit more experimental with my wardrobe. Typically favouring neutral tones and simplistic styles, once summer hits I completely step out of my comfort zone and begin injecting colour and prints into my wardrobe. Unsurprisingly, Zara has mastered colour trends for the season and there are a few new shades set to step into the spotlight.
Trusted classics such as deep browns and crisp whites are a no-brainer and play an integral role in a summer wardrobe, while soft dusky pinks and pastel blues are emerging, working seamlessly together or separately to feel effortlessly luxurious. Butter yellow is undeniably a longstanding favourite and is as prominent a colour trend this summer as it was last, in the form of slip dresses, classic shirts and linen trousers.
If, like me, you’re feeling adventurous this summer and want to discover the colours to have on your radar, scroll on to discover Zara’s colour trends for summer 2026.
